INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Jtrix 14.
(Bdore Mr. Commirriooe► Maob.)
II 7113 NMI= OF FRANCIS ILAIL—APPLICATION TO
"lIVIZW A DECISION OF 1111 LATE MI. COMMINSIONCR
IFIISFST.

In this case, which was before reported, a novel applica-
tion waa made to " review " the decision of the late Mr.

Commissioner Murphy. The insolvent, who was an attor-
ney in extensive practice, was beard some time back and
reesived a judgment of two yeses from Mr. Commissioner
Murphy at the suit of two creditors named Beavers and
AWason for fraudulently ooetracting their debts, and in
punsanee of which judgment he was now in prison. Bab-
signently the Law Institution applied to the Court of
Queen's Beech to strike the Insolvent off the rolls, and
that mut had suspended him from practice for two
yeas. Pending the application to the Court of
Queen's Bench the insolvent applied to this court
for • rehearing or review of the decision, and the
matter was before the late Mr. Commissioner Murphy, who
declined to go into the matter until the decision a/ the
Court of Queen's Bench bad been ascertained. A rule had
been issued to review, or vary, or annul the adjudication
which bad been made in the matter. Mr. Bargood had ap-
plied to Mr. Commissioner Nichols that he would bear the
application sa the case belonged to his court in consequence
of the death of Mr. Commissioner Murphy. The insolvent,
who denied that he had committed any fraud, was anxious
that the decision should be " reviewed," and that he might
be relieved from his painful position.
Yr. Commissioner-Nichols said he must go into the whole
matter in order to decide the question, and appointed a day
next week, oaths point to "review " the decision of the late
Mr. Comminsioner Murphy.

rell said, "Yes, so say L" The purse with a metallic

the coroner's inquest and their committal they both
became much affected, and Conway said to Farrell, " We
should not have bees here if you had come along with me,
and let the girl alone."
Mr. Edwards, in a powerful address to the jury, charae-
teriaed the evidence m vague and unsatisfactory, and of
such a nature as not to warrant the conviction of the pri-
soners and the forfeiture of their lives. The unfortunate
woman might have committed suicide.
Mr. Justice Keating regretted that in a came of this im-
ince there should not have been prepared plans of the
locality. If this proceeded from motives of economy, he
considered the economy to be much misplaced. It had
been suggested that death was the result of suicide,
but the medical testimony was that the external
appearances of the body were inconsistent with
accidental or self-occasioned death, that fainting
must have been produced by violence, and that in this state
of she was drowned. A falsehood uttered after
an a c aa that of murder must not necessarily be
taken as endemic of guilt. An innocent and straightfor-
ward man would always speak the truth ; but same
persons were foolish and weak-minded enough, when so
charged, to tell a falsehood to endeavour to remove
suspicion ; and they must take the consequences if •jury
chose to put an adverse construction upon their words. 'Me
evidatee, circumstantial in its nature, consisted of a number
of facts, each apparently trivial in itself, but which in con-
nexionlf, formed link of important testimony.
The jury Acquitted the primisrs.

was reported. But these advice*, though giving • more
cheerful feeling, have failed to give firmness bay in
face of the large production thrown constantly on
the market, now that Many of the contracts are
exhausted. There are sales making for almost all
markets, but sellers have difficulty in making them
without a slight further cola:sena'. Long cloths, T cloths,
domestics, and printers, are all a fraction lower than last
week. Printers are relatively dearer, the producers being
=mated by contracts, with lighter stocks than exist for
other cloths. Yarns continue to droop, and cops
and warps, for the home trades especially, con-
tinue depressed. Water-twist for Germany is also diffi-
cult of sale except at a slight decline. Hard twist, and
some of the higher counteat doubled }erns, are exception-
ably steady. India twist is difficult to sell, and even at a
small decline there is very little business done. The liabi-
lities of Messrs. R. Freeland and Brother, who suspended
on Wednesday, are now stated at a much higher sum than
60,000/., but the exact amount is not known.

WOOLLEN. Lorne, JULY 14. —There was no feature in
the markets this morning that calla for remark. The atten-
dance was about as usual, and fair steady business in nearly
all descriptions of seasonable goods.

CORN.—CAMBIUDGZ, JULY 14.—We had a very small
market, with prices unchanged. The growing wheat crop
is blooming very favourably, and promises well. Wheat,
52a. to Ms. Beans, 445. Oafs, 245. to 28s, per qr.

Cutouts, JULY 14.-We had a small supply of wheat at
our market this morning, which met with a good sale at
Bd. advance. Barley and oats small supply, good sale at
about last week's rates. Wheat, white, new and old,
225. 6d. to 21s. ; red, new and old, 21s. &I. to 225. 6d.
Barley, new and old, 16s. to 16s. 6d. Oats, potato, 12s. to
12s. 6d. ; common, 10s. to lls. 6d. Rye, 16s. 6d. to
, 174. Beans, 20s. Flour, per stone, 2a d. to 25. 4d.
Oatmeal, per stone, 2s. 4d. to 2s. 6d. Ryerueal, per stone,
le. B[l. Barleymeal, per stone, Is. Bd.
CoLcuserro,. JULY 14.-A moderate show of wheat
and other grain. Wheat in fair demand, at barely late
rates. Barley Is. dearer. Beans and peas unaltered.
GLOOCUTZIL, JULY 14.-The weather still continues very
fine and hot. To-day's market was very thinly attended,
and few samples of wheat shown, for which last week's
prices were paid. Foreign quite as dear. Barley inquired
after. Beans and peas without alteration. Oats were very
slow, and an abatement of 6d. per qr. did not tempt buyers.
Imports of the week ending July 14 :-Wheat, foreign, 1,151
I r4Oats, Ireland, 1,05.5 ; coastwise, 200 ; foreign, 1,860.
foreign, 800.

GUILDTORD, Jeur 14.—The supply of wheat continues
very limited. Trade to-day assumed more futnnesa, and in
many instances prices were paid which could not be obtained
last week. Best white wheat, 655. ; red, 60s. Nothing
;easing in other grain.
HUTFOILD, JULY 14.—We had a very small market to-
day, in consequence of the line weather for the hay harvest.
The beat wheat made last week's pnces. Barley sold at
rather more money. Oats, peas, and beans support last
week's rates. Wheat, 225. to 381. per load ; barley, 28s.
to 345. per qr. • oata, 20a to 28s. per qr. ; peas, 245. to 28s.
per load ; beans, 26a to 30s. per load.

LEIC/LITNA, JULY 14.—There was hardly an average quan-
tity of wheat from the farmers at our corn market to-day,
the show consisting of red and white qualities. Buyers
purchased less sparingly, and the rates of the week pre-
nom were well sustained. White samples changed hands
at 58s. to 60e. ; red, 565. to 58s. per 36 stone. The supply
of barley was very scanty, and the business done was trifling
at the rates current on the week previous, malting sorts
selling at 38s. to 445. per qr. ; grinding ditto, 345. to 365.
per 30 stone. Oats came to market sparingly, and the de-
mand was less active, and in some cases holders had to
submit to a slight reduction in order to effect sales, the best
old sort. making Ws. to 31. is. per 24 stone ; new and se-
mr=
, 30s. to 325. per ditto. The show of beans was
li and with a moderate demand the extreme mesa of
last week were made ; old, 50s. ; new, 48e. per 38 stone.
Fine flour, 41s. • seconds, 395. ; thirds 375. per 20 stone.
Around hre the growing crops are favourably reported of.
Wheat in some districts is thin on the ground ; the colour,
however, is gewally good, and with suitable weather an
average yield is looked forward to. Barley is doing well
on the better descriptions of land. Beans am well planted,
thickly blossomed and podded, and augur well for the
future crop. Peas are progressing rapidly.
- -

NEWCAINTLI-UPON-Thit, JULY 14.—At our market this
morning we had an extremely moderate show of wheat from
tho growers, and the arrivals coastwise as well as from abroad,
exhibiting a marked falling off ; the trade opened firmly, a
clearance of farmers' samples being readily effected at an
improvement of L. per qr., whilst at the same time a fair
sale was experienced in south country descriptions, at prices
that were not previously obtainable. In foreign scarcely
anything was done, holders being unwilling to sell at pre-
sent rates. Flour was held more firmly, but dealers upon
the whole were retired, so that the business passing was
quite of a retail character. Grinding barley in good request
and rather dearer. In malt, beans, or peas little stirring.
Oats more inquired for, and may be written a shade higher.
The arrivals this week are :—Wheat, coomtwiset 1,473 ;
foreign, 1,072 qrs. Rye coastwise, 3. Barley, foreign, 324.
Malt, coastwise, 350. o
Oats, coastwise, 680 ; foreign, 1,870.
Flour, 247 sacks.

NORWICH, JOLT 14.-At to-day's market the sup-
ply of wheat was limited, and but little business was
done. Fully last Saturday's terms were, however, real-
ised, and many farmers demanded an advance of le. per qr.;
but to this the buyers would not submit. White wheat is
quoted this evening 60a. to 65e. ; and red ditto, 56a. to 60s.
per qr. Flour 415. per neck from the miller. A most
favourable change in the weather took place in the eastern
district on Wednesday, and has continued without inter-
mission up to this evening. The reports regarding the
wheat crop are upon the whole more favourable in Nor-
folk, but barleys are likely to prove very deficient on most
of the strong lands.
NOTTINGHAM, JULY 14.-We had only a moderate share
of wheat on offer at our corn market to-day ; the samples
exhibited, however, were for the most part in good condition.
A middling number of sales were effected at full rates. White
descriptions sold at 525. to 65a. ; red, 565. to 61s. per 36
stone. In tore value of barley no material alteration can be
quoted, the supply being small and the trade heavy ; malt-
ing sorts moved off at 355. to 465. per quarter ; grinding,
31.15. to 33e. per 30 stone. Of oats the show was very
limited, and there was not much activity in the trade,
former currencies being barely sustained ; old. 345. to 345. ,•
new, Ma. to 325. per 24 stone. In beans only a limited
amount of business was transacted, but the quotations of
the week previous were well supported ; old, 535. ; new,
48a. to 30s. per 38 stone. Super Hour, 435. to 455. • fine
ditto, 39a. to 435. per 20 stone. In this neighbourhood the
young wheats are programing favourably, and the prospects
for the forthcoming harvest are much better than could
have been expected a short tune since.
OXFORD, JOLT 14.--The attendance at market to-day was
small, and, consequently, the supply of all kinds of grain
was very limited. The few business transactions in prime
samples of wheat were on somewhat easier terms than this
day se'nnight. The quotations for other articles were much
about the same. A great deal of hay has been ricked, and
although some of the meadows will hardly pay for making,
the crops on the high grounds have been exceedingly good.
PRTHRBOBOUGH, JULY 14.-At our market to-day we
had a small supply of wheat, which met a dull sale at
the prices of this day week. Barley none. Oita and
beans scarcely a sample offering. Wheat, best red, 58s. ;
common ditto, 55e. to 565. per 501165. • oats, Is. 3d. to
L. 4d, per stone ; teens, 48e. per qr. of 5321b5.

- .
RILDINEL JULY 14.—There was but a short attendance
at market this morning, owing to the hay season. The sup-
ply was of course small, but sufficient for the demand,which
was slow, and sales could only be effected at a reduction of
Is per quarter. Of barley, the supply was very small, and
in this and every other description of grain, there was no
quotable variation in price.
Rocazeriul, JULY 14.—The attendance at this exchange
was very limited, and but few samples of wheat were
placed on the stands. The supply, however' was fully equal
to the demand, as business was dull, with a disinclination on
the part of buyers to effect any transactions of great moment.
The beet qualities of white were done at about the rates of
last week, the favourable reports from Mark-lane making
holders rather firmer in their demands. Inferior kinds
of both white and red were somewhat easier to purchase,
but business for those lots was rather restricted. The de.
liverim of both malting and grinding kinds of barley were
on a very limited wale, and the trade somewhat improved.
prime lots being in demand, and best samples the turn
higher ; grinding as well as malting was in good request ;
best lots being quoted at 325. to J.M. The at trade con-
tinues very dull, and although best kinds maintain their
price, inferior parcelscan be purchased at about fats to Ix per
qr. cheaper. Then is scarcely any demand for beans and peas,
and prices of that descrition of grain are about the same.
Thu flour trade was dull, at about Is. per sack reduction
for sonowls. though that coucesitiou did not induce buyers to
go into the trade.
W tanica,J tAr 14.—The weather durlegthe past weeklies
very much improved the appearance of the crops in this
neighbourhood, which are looking welL The attendance
at thb day's market was small, and the amount of business
limited at the prices of last week. Spring corn scarce, and
fully maintained late rates. Prices to the grower :

WORCESTER, JULY 14.—There was a small supply of
wheat at market to-day, which realised fully last week's
prices. Barley quite as clear. More doing in cats. Beaus
neglected. Yam sold more readily at last week's rime.
Tone, JOLT It —At oar cora market this morning the
attendance of farmers and factors was by no means
numerous, and the show of wheat was only on a moderate
scale. The demand was firm, and late rates had to be paid
in the business dose ; fine white sorts realised Ms.
secondary, 00s. and 0. ; superior red, 58s. ; secondaty
ditto, btis. per 36 stone. There was an exceedingly meagre
supply of barley, which consisted of grinding samples,
melting being nomineL The demand was slow, hut buyers
bad to pay quite as much mossy as on the previous &tar-
day, rates varying from Me. to 3.5 e. per .30 stone. The is
quiry for oats was die, and coarse qualities wen pun..
chewable at rale* in fiteuur of the buyer, samples making
Bit to 30e. per 24 dose. Very few beers were offered,
and the demand proved steady at former terms, 48s. to 60/.
pw 38 stone. Malt, 6lis. to 7th. ; rye. 3tle. per qr. ; lour,
48s. to 445. per 21 stone. The Sae weather of the past
week has materially implored harvest pampas* although
reaping cannot be outarammed until lens in the seems. The

ha y harvest in some places is nearly mer. Potatoes b_•ue•
tally are coming on as well as can be expected.

KIRKCALDY, JULY 14.—At our coentry markets this
week, the quantity of grain offering was quite trilling, and
in the little business doing the prims of last week were
fully realised. Here, to-day, we had very small supplies of
wheat and oats with only ohs sample of barley. Wes
were slow at an advance of 6d. to Is. per qr. for wheat,
and oats realised fully last week's prices. Wheat, 51s. to
5Ne. per qr. ; barley, 38s. 6d. ; oats, 20s. to MI.
WATIRFORD, JULY 14.—With the exception of a few
hours' rain yesterday, we have had uninterruptedly fine
forcing weather since the date of our hut, and the crops are
reported to be progressing moat favourably. Our imisots
of grain are very moderate, but the trade continues devoid
of animation ; late prices, however, are fully maintained,
stocks being exceedingly small, and for oats rather more
money is obtainable. Wheat meets a very limited inquiry,
without change in value. Barley dull, but not cheaper.
There is a slightly increased demand for oats to complete
shipments, and holders are enabled to obtain an advance of
3d. to 6d. per barrel for best samples. The sale of Indian
corn is not large, but purchasers are ►obliged to pay full
prices, our stocks being nearly exhausted. Flour 6d. per
sack cheaper. Imports this week :—Wheat, 133 qrs. ;
Indian corn, 4,229 qrs.; flour, 25 sacks. Exports this week :
—Barley, 100 barrels ; oats, 3,660 barrels ; flour, 1,613
sacks ; oatmeal, 44 sacks.

CATTLE.---St —ALIRBURT PRIU SHIM' FAIR, JULY 14.
This fair was held in the Butts, near this city, when about
10,000 sheep and lambs were penned, of good quality.
There was a good attendance of buyers, at the whole
changed hands at about the same prices as were obtained at
the late Stockbridge fair, viz., Lambs, 21s. to 3tle. ; ewes,
30s. to 435. • wethers, 365. to 475. There was a fair show
of horses, which sold at late rates.

HARDWARE—BIRMINGHAM, Jui-r 14.—The trade of
this town is more animated than it has been for the last five
or six weeks, and such appears to be its characteristic
feature throughout the adjouung district of South Staff onl.
shire. In the town the factors have been giving out orders
more freely since the new quarter commenced, and there is
some appearance of more animation about the home trade
generally, although there is no inquiry at present for the
class of goods usually in demand for the autumn trade.
In most of the leading trades the manufacturers have orders
enough to keep their workpeople employed as much time as
they usually make, and although a certain amount of slack-
ness exists in some of the leas important branches, espe-
cially where there is dependence upon foreign orders, there
is, nevertheless, a good steady trade doing. The iron-
masters' meetings for the current quarter terminated at
Dudley this evening ; no change whatever took
place in the position of the trade from that which
it assumed at the meeting at Wolverhampton and
Birmingham. The transactions at the Dudley meeting are
generally in pig iron, but very little business in that line
was doing at this meeting, and that branch of the trade is
decidedly fiat, and prices are from 21. 6d. to 3s. 9d. per ton
lower than last quarter-day, but for all descriptions of
finished iron there is a steady demand, sufficient to marlin
the trade prices. At a meeting on Friday of the cre-
ditors of the bank of Mr. Foster, of Bilden which
suspended a few weeks ago, an account was presented show-
ing liabilities to the amount of 43,626/. ; the assets are put
down at 22,6271., exclusive of a sum of 18,WJ6/., said to
be due from Mr. Cross, the late cashierss, at the bank. This
item has, however, been disputed by Mr. Cross, and an
arrangement has been entered into by which he has agreed
to pay a sum of 8,01104 by instalments, in discharge of
all liabilities. The report presented by Mr. Harrison,
the accountant, showed that when Cross quitted
the bank on the 14th of June, the cash-book showed
a balance in cash and cheques of 12,4701. 18s. 7d., whereas
there actually was only 2,6751. in the house, leaving a defi-
ciency in the cash of 9,7961. lls. 6d. The report
added that many glaring errors had been discovered in the
books ; and that many of the per-books of the customers
had not been made up for three, and others not for four
years past. Cross, the cashier, and his two sons were the
sole clerks in the bank. If the assets turn out well, it is
thought that the estate may yield Me. in the pound.
