EQUITY COURT.
(Before Vice-Chastener es IL T. ILlmisealey.)
TNL ATTuIVILT-GOISRAL e. 000 en.
The must some ea petition by Bari one
of the trustees a ebaritv school for peer begs IS
Dsap-
wort►, in Elude., mar Chelteshem, aad known
ea Wades' Charity, and Lord Northwick and
other persona, asking that Lord Narthwick and
ten other person. might be appointed trustees
of the charity, or that the appointment of Lord Beauchamp
and certain other prnoud might be conarmed. The charity
was founded in 17011 by the will of Jobe Lleacla by which the
Dr.spers'Com piny were neistitated trustees of the charity,but
they disclaimed, and by a deed the property WWI vested in
trustees who carried on the school down to 11437. In that
year an information Irau filed for the due regulation of the
charity, and • decree wan made in 11444, whereby it
was referred to chambers to settle • scheme.
By reason, however, of the income of the
charity not being sufficient to ray the costa, the scheme,
although pretared was
the period when the requisite funds should be
forthcoming, and under these circumstances the present
petition was presented. The petition was opposed by the
relators oa the ground that the trustees proposed were
resident at a distance, and therefore were not so fit as per-
ilous would be who were residents' of the parish in which the
school ma situate.

The Vire-Chancellor said it appeared Lord Northwick was
duly appointed, and being a fit persist his appointment must
be confirmed, and Earl Beauchamp was a cootiouing trustee,
bat doubts existing whether the other ten persons
were duly appointed a reference mast be made to chambers,
to appoint uew trustee. with Earl Beauchamp sod Lord
Neriliwsk, with leave to appoint all or any of the other
tea pinions. This reference to be without prejudice es to
the gaistios of who has the right to appoint new trustees.
Mr. limpter and Mr. Mallets appeared in support of the
petition ; Giulia and Yr. W.-loiter for the relators.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Wore Mr. Commissioner Geo%ant.)

Ix II IIZAISOIL —JUIX:IIVIT.—nTRAORDINAIiII saga.
The bankrupt was an upholsterer, of Ship-atrest, Brighton.
He recently applia d for his certificate, supported by Mr.
Lawrence, and r ppoecd by Mr. G. Lawrence, for the
assi.peea, on the ground that he had fraudulently obtained
aolit. and hail not given up the whole of his property.
His Honour now gave judgment. He mid this was • are
In which, if he carried the law to the extreme, he should be
obliged to refuse protection. There were CiTCUMOISOCINI is
the ease which made him reluctant to adopt that cause ;
and be wished to know whether the assignees would so far
recommend the man to the lenient consideration of the
court as to grant him protection.
SMr. G. Lawrence said that the anknees were convinced
that the bankrupt had on different ()erosions made repre-
sentatious which were positively untrue ; but they would
sot press for • refusal of protection.
His Honour mid the assignee, did themselves great credit
by the course they had punned; they had done their duty
most properly. Mr. Sims, in particular, had acted with
the moat kindly and friendly feeling towards the
bankrupt throughout. The case had in it some incidents
of a singular character, more resembling what was met with
is the pages of • novel than in the details of a use in
bankruptcy. The bankrupt wee the son of • man in •
very humble position, indeed—a small marine store-
keeper—living in a small house amongst fish-
women and minces of that description. The bankrupt
had had the good or bad fortune to attract the attention
of a young lady in a much better position in life, the only
daughter ale wealthy man, who bad left behind him9,oool.
• year in landed property. The bankrupt having succeeded in
pin*: the affections of this young lady, minima her. Of
course, the father was at first extremely displeased, and
for some time would not see them. At last be took them
into favour, was apparently completely reconciled to them
sad he died in the daughter's arms. On hii;
death the bankrupt's expectations of property were entirely
ilisappoieted, as were those of his brother-itrlaw. The
old gentleman had bequeathed all his property to a distant
relative, leaving only a freehold house, worth 7031., to
his daughter, and nothing whatever to his son. It was not
• very extraordinary occurrence for porno's of old
age to disappoint the expectations of those sear and dear to
them, and give their mousy to others. It was exactly what
Dr. Johnson described in his " Vanity of Human Wishes :"
" The expictanta round still hint the last offence,
The daughter's petulance, the moo's expense,
Improve his headstrong wrath with treacherous skill,
And mould his passions till they make his will."
That was just what had been done in this ome ; and no one
could help feeling for the disappointment of this young
man. But that disappointment formed no excuse
whatever for the sort of cunduct of which he
bad been guilty during his short period of trading%
He had gene on from first to last, not only with
rookhenisen bet dealing in mierepresentatioas and false-
hood, beyond any case which the court could all to mind.
The beekrupt stated that his father-in-law would not allow
him to go into trade, and that he knew nothing of It
beyond having been apprenticed to the manufacturing
part of the upholstery bust:sees. Wish the produce of the
house left tohia wife, and 1031., he had rushed into trade
on • large scale, and opened very showy warehouses
in Ship-street, Brighton. He seemed not to have
W least notion of what a tradesman ought to
do ; be had kept no cash-book, end knew nothing at all
of what was going on, though he was luting 1501. • month.
All he did was to keep himself going by telling falsehoods
to hie mediton repreeentiog that be was all right,
bed taken stock regularly, and could pay 40a. in
she pelted. During the lam 10 or 12 swaths he admitted
that he was doing me beim* at all No wonder that the
creditors should look at seek • mem, sot only with imp'-
elm, hut with liedloalion. The waist part of the
ease wee that the bankrupt had put forward his father—

sad his creditors would only get a divided of Is. id. in the
pens& The certificate must be suspended for twelve
month' ; when granted, to be of the lowest clam. At the
insiume of the amignees, who hail acted with the greatest
Idadnees, the court would not withhold probectioo.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAT.)

SOUTHW ARK.

=MUT, 10111111 T 01 JIVILLICRT, &C., AT • ucconsza
VICTUALLKICA.
Joseph Harper, • tall, respectahle.lboking man, was
brought before Mr. Bambara, charged with being concerned
with others not ia custody in stealing • valuable gold watch
and chain, • gold pencil.case, • gold locket, two gold rings,
sad other mucks of jewellery, worth 50/ , the property of
Mr. Thomas Price, the landlord of the William the Fourth
public-house, 4t. Andrew's.maol. Homeasommr-lane.
The prosecutor deposed that he knew the prisoner as a
easterner, and resided sear him. On the previous after-
. woe he was is his home with the other mem and about 3
o'clock the latter west into the yard frequently, but he had
so suspiziou as to their conduct. About 6 o'clock Mm.
Price went upstaire, awl finding her bedroom locked inside,
she called out. Witness went upstairs, and was compelled
to break open the door, when he diocoverul that all the
drawers had been forced open, and he missed the gold
watch and chain, • valuable gold locket, two gold noir,
two brooch... awl • number of smaller satirise, worth
upwards of 44.1 f. As soma es he de seeded to the her be
perceived that the prisoner had left the house as well as
the others, and as he hail informed him • short time
previous his house would be robbed, he suspected him, and
rave information to the police, which led to the apprehen-
sion of the primmer.
Mr. Burchain asked whether any of the property had
been traced to the prisoner!
The constable repliol in the oesttive. He, however,
found in his house 39 duplicates relating to wearies apparel
*oiled recently.
The prisoner denied any eounerime with the robbery. He
certainly overheard some men a few days ago say that Ham
istaided to rob the house, sad be told Mr. Price of it. It
was sot likely he should be one of the thieves, as be lived
out deur. . . .

Mr Mardi= observed that there WA4 not sufficient ev:-
deuce fur a remand, therefore he should discharge him ; but
the pawnbrokers duplicates found on him would be &Wined
for a week.

Mr. H. G. Bohn, the bookseller, was called, sod he stated
that he resided at Twickenham. On Tuesday night, the
29th ult., he was a first-clam passenger by the 11 o'clock
train from Waterloo station. The defendant and hie friend
Mr. Schlotel were also passengers. After a short time the
defendant, who was on the opposite side, put
his foot upon the cushion against his trousers. Wit-
ness remonstrated with him, upon which he put
up the other violently between his legs. He
(witness) forced them down, upon which the defendant
commenced kicking his shins, and at the same time said he
hoped they were well bruisisdL He complained of his coo-
duct at Vauxhall and Wandsworth. Both the defendant
and his friend also insulted him. Witness attributed the
conduct to his being a known objector to smoking.
The case against Mr. Schlutel, who is a member of the
Stock Exchange, was for insulting and threatening Mr.
Weir, of Battersea Hiss, who interfered in the carriage on
account of a lady. He, however, admitted using an un-
becoming expression.
Mr. Hayford denied the charge, and said Mr. Bohn first
kicked him. He also said that he never put his feet upon
the cushion.

Mr. Arnold dismissed the summons against Mr. Sehlotel,
on sceouut of the language used by Mr. Weir, and fined Mr.
Playfonl 40s. and coats.
In the camel Mr. Ellis, Mr. Bohnsaidheand another friend
persisted in smoking after passing Wandsworth, and at
Mortlake he was caught in the act by the guard. Mr. Hobo
also saki that Mr. Ell is had espiemed his regret,snd be (Mr.
Bohn) wished to know if the 40s. penalty was sent whether
that would be sufficient

kr:Arnold raidhe always insisted upon persons who
were summoned being compelled to attend. if not, it
would be like the case in Puna where the young gentle.
man offered the 40s. penalty in the carriage.
Mr. &mania a great many would like to pay the 405.,
instead of coming to the court.
A second summate was ordered against Mr. Ellis.

COBS AND YOUOHAL RAILWAY COMPANY.
(THIS DAY.)
An extraordinary meeting of the proprietors of
the Cork and Youghal Railway Company was Wd at the
Mikes of the company, at Gresham-house, Old Broad-street,
for the purpose of authorising the company to borrow on
mortgage or bond the sum of 15,000/., and for the pur-
pose of securing the repayment of the money with interest,
to authorise the directors to mortgage the undertaking,
and give bonds in such manner as might be authorised by
the meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Cork
sad Youghal Railway Act, 1861, and the other acts re-
gulating the same ; Siit 0. Rom in the chair.
Ou the motion of Mr. Lima, seconded b bir.Corataina,
a resolution was agreed to for raising the 15,000/. at an in-
terest not higher than 5 per amt. and repayable within 7
years.
A vote of thanks was pared on the board of directors,
and on the managers and oficiabi in Unload for their excel-
lent management of the line, after which the meeting
aeperated.

The Army and Navy Gazette imp; :—"Lieutenant-
Colonel Middleton, C. 8., commanding the Royal Artillery
at the Mauritius, has been sent on an embassy, with other
rears, by the governor of the colony, to convey oompli-
=subs and preeents to Radama 11., the new Kier of ?dada-
pacer. It is much to be hoped that the favourable reports
spread of the enlightened views of the new monarch may
be well founded, and that our officers will on their return
confirm accounts which have already mired great expecta-
tions of the opening-up of this splendid island to the long-
dallied claims of eaterpriss and civilisation."

Two volumes of a Diary by Varnhagen von Ewe
have* jag left the press ; the diary comprises the years
1835t0 the end el 1844, and is likely (says the Atheacron)
to create a atilt greater mambos than Varnhagen's
raspoodemo with Humboldt. A few words of Varnbegen,
in reply to an observation of the Ambles" for Herr von
Wow, to the effect of the power and importance of a sharp
quill in our times (1839), prove what may be expected from
the.. volumes. Varnha3m ssid, " Indeed, lam sitting by
a powder magazine ; if I shoo'd owe feel inclined to put
the match to it, half the town of Berlin would explode ; I
should have to go away and light it from a distance." He
haa gone since to when so amount of explosion will affect
him, but Frialaii Iwdmilla Arcing be. boldly applied the
match.

On Tuesday there was a grand hunt at Com-
pass', at which their Majesties and the Prince Imperial
were present in the imperial busting costume. The two
Porterage Priaoss, the Princess Anna Murat, and thirty
other pewees were aloe similarly attired,which circumstance
imparted a picturesque effect to the meet at the Putts du
Rol. The chase lasted two hours, and the stag was killed
sear the pond of Sainte-Perrine. A dinner of 75 covers took
piece in the evening.
Letters from Jerusalem of the 24th ult. announce
that the Cant de Chambord had arrived there on the pa-

TRANMIT or MERCURT.--Should the heavens be
unclouded on the morning of Tuesday next a grand pheno-
menon will present itself. There will be a transit of Mercury
over the sob's disc on the morning of that day. The actual
period of contact will happen about two hours before sun-
rise, and, consequently, when Isith are below the horizon.
The least distance between the centres of the sun and planet
occurs at 7h. 17m., two minutes after the sun has risen, and
from that time until the emersion takes place, at Is minutes
past 9, and should the sky be clear the planet's body will
show a travelling dark spot over the face of the sun, which
proves that the planet is an opaque body, and receives its
light from the sun, the dark side being anted to the earth.
The lint transit of Mercury observed was by flassendi,
noted French philosopher, in November, 1761. The visible
transits of Mercury in the present century occurred NAY 5.
: May 8. 11445 ; and November 9, 18414. The others
will happen Nov. 12, 1861 ; November 12, 1868; May 7,
1878 ; and November 10. 194.

men are far -better calculated to deal with the wretched
creatures who infest our streets than clergymen, and that
the presence of the proctors, however well intended, pro-
duces as mach mischief as it prevent.. This was certainly
the case on Tuesday.—Cambridge

LATEST CITY BETTING.

(ram ova sprout. ooalearosoiar.)
EXPRESS OFFICE, Than o'CLoct.
The "Lord Mayor's show" interfered with specula-
tion in the City. Still some stray shots were fired at the
LivirPool Cup. Milliosaire was in some force, having.
it is mid, won his trial, and the strong
position which was manifested to back Joey
Jams would indicate that either he bad had "a day to
himself" at Worcester, or that the ground did not
suit him. A kind of see-saw movement was kept up
about X. Phillips and the Brewer, and people seemed
puzzled to determine which will be the trusted repreeenta-
tire of the stable. When one rises the other goes
down ; but despite the equivocal demonstrations which
were made in the Manchester market spinet X. Philips,
the bailor; would indicate that be will represent the
Epsom division. 12 to 1 was betted to small sums
against The Prince of Denmark, bat'' to money" not more
than 10 to 1 would have been laid. Sir William was at
all manner of

ing to people's • books," or their fancies. Indeed, his
supporters and his opponents hesitated between him and
his stable companion }Lumley. The quotations on the Cup
