COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Acting• Commissioner MatzMt.)
IN RE DAVID GEORGE HENRY.

The bankrupt was an iron merchant, of Gresham-house,
Old Broad-street. He applied for his release from cus-
tody. The liabilities are thought to be considerable; but
the adjudication being on a creditor's petition, the usual
statement is wanting.

Mr. !teed supported the application. There was no op-
position, and big Honour granted the discharge.

the end prove beneficial. The business which
was being conducted was safe and remunera-
tive ; it indicated a careful adherence, on the
part of the managers, to the system and roles
laid down by the directors, and the shareholders might
fairly anticipate better times. The losses came on the
board as a complete surprise, and the officers who were at all
connected with them were no longer in the service of the
bank. lie added that the directors sought on that occasion
power to consolidate the old and the new shares.
Mr. ALLestiza wished to know the nature of the govern-
, ment and other securities held by the bank.
The CHAIRMAN replied that there was 13,8001. in
British Columbian bond., and 4,290 i. in wool..
Mr. ALLENDER wished to know whether, after meeting
all liabilities, there would be anything left for the share-
holders. _ _

The Cit AIM! AN Certainly.
Mr. A I.LYN twit thin suggested the propriety of appoint-
ing a committee of shareholders with a view to winding up.
Ina discussion which ensued the fteliog of the meeting
was manifestly adverse to this suggestion, Mr. Cony-
beare remarking that the largest shareholder, an experi-
enced banker in the City of London, had privately ex
pressed to him his disapproval of such a course.
Several shareholders contended that it warn desirable
that holders of new and old shares should act unitedly.
and that the directors should be supported in carrying ou
the bank u they ware doing.
The report was adopted.

In beautiful weather this morning play in this
match was resumed at 12.30, the "net outs" of last
night (Sergeant Leilshain and Mr. A. S. Griffiths, com-
mencing the batting. Price bowled a maiden to him
to begin with, from the Pavilion end, and Mr. Ward
delivered round-arm slows from the reverse. Mr.
Griffiths was in excellent batting form. and
amongst other items got Price round to' square-
leg for 4. When the score had been raised to 29 Jigging
took up the bowling, but off his second ball Ledeham
made a very fine off-drive for 5. (Applause.) They con-
tinued batting steadily, and at 1 o'clock, when our

The play proceeded steadily, Mr. Griffiths showing some

Ledsham was caught and bowled by Price; the catch was
a most brilliant one. Mr. Kingecute put on 2:1
by some severe hitting-9 off, 1 over of Mr. Sutton's.
Mr. Hutchinson's 11 were a welcome addition to the
Gunners' score. Colonel Milman added 3, and with the

" Within the last week," writes "Argos" of the
Peet, " the turf has lost Mr. Seymour Thellussoo, brother
of Mr. Thellusson, the commodore of the Victoria Yacht
Club. Mr. Tbellusson was formerly a lieutenant in the
72nd Highlanders, and afterwards took to racing ; but the
hones which ran in his name were the property of another
gentleman, who is so far fortunate that he is freed from
their engagements, as they are very moderate animals.
Mr. Thelluuon, who was ill only a short time, died of an
affection of the heart—s disease to which few racirg gen-
tlemen are subject. Major Johnson, who ran second for
the Derby with Marionette, died also last week of an attack
of gout."

Strife continues to rage between the cab-drivers
and proprietors. Some of the masters are said, notwith-
standing the dearness of provisions and the general slack-
ness of trade, to be demanding a day in addition to
the present tariff charged to the men. Some of the cab-
men have combined, and struck ; on the other band, a
number of masters have combined, and have ►greed not
again to employ any of those who joined the strike.

The Americana are making wine from apples.
It is called Via de Pomme. It is described as a light
sparkling wine, and free from acids, chemicals, and other
deleterious substances.

liftEsr, MAY 12.—The Transatlantic Company's
steamer Pereii e, from New York, arrived here this morning.
She brings ?12 passengers, 71.1,000 dole. in specie, and a
full cargo of merchandise.

MELANt•IIOLY OCCURRENCE.-011 Thursday a
painful case of suicide occurred at Laurencetown. The
victim of the rash act was Mr. %Yin. Umber, station-muter
at that town. It appears that in the early part of the
day Mr. Thomas Cowan, of Dundalk, manager of theline,
was making An inspection of the station ; and not find.
lug every thing in as satisfactory a state as
lie deemed, re nosed Mr. rasher for his alleged
neglect and inattention to busineu. The young
said Mr. Cowan would never ag►in have to
reprove him. He then left the room in an excited state ;
and, having taken a pistol unobserved from his desk,
blew his brains out near the station. The consternation
which this act caused might be imagined, and the regret
amongst the inhabitants of the town in general. Deceased
was only '22 years of age, and hat been about four years
discharging the duties of station-muter. After an inquest
hail been held, the body was removed by rail to Dundalk,
where his parents reside.—Newry Telegraph.

A Nlyttimitous Ot ritAGE.—On Saturday night,
John itlolloy, a tenant of Marcus Goodbody, Esq., at Dal-
; lygrawne, near Athenry, was securing the door of his barn,
when be received a heavy blow on the back of his bead,
which he thought for a moment must have been caused by
a rafter falling from the roof ; but, on turning
round, he found himself confronted by a ruffian
I who struck him on the forehead with a hammer.
Re immediately closed with his assailant, and they
struggled for a abort time, but the stunning effect of the
News be had received obliged him to let go his hold, and
be fell to the ground. The assassin then lifted a stone
wits both his hands, and dashed it with crushing force
upot the prostrate man's breast. Unhappily there was
nu pa:son at hand to come to his succour. The poor
fellow -.3 a widower, and the only imitates of his house
are hii, two cialtlren, the eider net quite seven years old ;
but that succeeded after some delay in alarming his neigh-
bours, 5i....0, when theyeame, found him insensible and stir-
rountetedrity a pool of blood. He Iles in a most precarious
state, ilia:Ones received from the stone being, as far as
the dintrir surgeon, Dr. Geonard, has as yet been able to
flaCtrttee, el a most alarming character. Happily, how-
, ever. it suayibe hoped, forth' ends of justice, the brain ap-
pears to bavo.oscaped, and the sufferer has been enabled
it' name Lis assailant, when he distinctly secognised, us
svite of the disguise of a leap beard, to be a mom against
WllOlll he h,d sworn informatons nearly two years ago. As
yot the police hats not been dde to come upon his traces.

MINE&-(THIS DAY.)

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

• - -
Ix the House of Loans, yesterday, the LOSD
OTIANCELLOR withdrew the Judgment Debtors'
Bill, the Bankruptcy Bill, and the Bankruptcy
Acts Repeal Bill, saying that it was impossible to
pass them in time to enable the House of Commons '
to deal with them this session.
The Regulation of Railways Bill passed through
committee. The fifth clause, which provided that
directors might be imprisoned for falsifying the
account. M.& railway company, was, on the motion
of the Mari,uis of Ssimltscv, amended by making
Han offence' punishable by tine and imprisonment
for the officers or auditors of a railway company to
sign accomita which they knew to be faisitied.
The Cspital Punishment within Prisons Bill was
read a third time and pissed.
Several other bills were advanced • stage, and
the house adjourned at twenty-five minutes to
eight o'clock. __.._

Is the House of CommoNs, Mr. Di:mow, re-
plying to Sir Andrew Agnew and Mr. Monereiff
stated that he was anxious to bring about the
earliest possible dissolution of the house, and with
that view to bring the Scotch Reform Bill under
oonsiderati,m as aeon as possible. It was requisite
to take the Boundary Bill first on Thursday, and
as there was an objection to the Scotch Reform
Bill being placed second, he should put it down for
the first open day.
On the order of the day for going into committee
of supply,
Captain Mseelasosr drew attention to certain
deficiencies said to exist in the iron-clad fleet,
and
Mr. St...WM% called attention to a parliamentary
return relative to the designs for war-ships fur-
nished by private shipbuilding firms on an invita-
tion from the Admiralty, and to the course taken
by the Admiralty in respect to them. He com-
plained that the private firms had been treated
unfairly ; that some of the designs of the Con-
structor of the Navy had an extreme resemblance
to some which had been sent in by private firms,
and that Messrs. Laird, who had sent in the admit-
tedly best design fur a turret ship, did not receive
the order for the ship, but got an order for a broad-
side ship.
Mr. Catev said the designs were necessarily re-
ferred to the Controller of the Navy, and of course
the Admiralty was in a great measure bound by
his opinion. The reason why Messrs. Laird did
not get the order for the turret ship was that they
were already building another turret ship, the Csw
taro. Besides, there was the greatest possible
doubt of the fitness of turret ships for cruising
purposes, and as they had so few iron-dads, he
thought the wisest course was to postpone the
building of the turret ship till they had some fur-
ther experience of both the Captain and the
Monarch.
The house then went into committee of supply,
and
Mr. CORRY proceeded to explain the naval esti-
mates, which he did at considerable length ; his
statement occupying nearly three hours. He said
the total amount of the estimates this year was
11,177,•.:901., as compared with 10,976,2531. last
year—showing an increase of 201,0371. ; but this
increase was apparent only, as 206,2921. would be
repaid to the Exchequer, showing an actual de-
crease of 2,2.15/. But, on the other hand, some few
items had been removed from the navy to the civil
service estimates, and the general result was that
there was an increase in the estimates for
the naval service of the present year of 9,480/. over
the amount voted last year. In preparing the esti-
mates the question rose as to whether any reduc-
tion should be made in the number of seamen for
the year, and of course that depended on the ques-
tion of whether our foreign squadrons were to be
maintained at their present strength. He re-
ferred to the various stations, stating the increase
and decrease which had been resolved upon with
regard to each, the general result being that there
was a reduction of 13 ships out of 135, and of
2,768 men, and if it had not been fir the Abys-
sinian war the reduction would have been carried to
18 ships and 3,208 men. The total number of men
voted last year, excluding boys and marines, was
37,063; and including boys and coast guard,
51,663. This year the total number was 50,800,
being a reduction of 842 men ; but they had re-
duced the number of marines to the extent of
1,700 men, shelving a gross reduction of 2,542 men.
But though there was this reduction in the num-
ber of men there was a net increase in the esti-
mates on vote lof 85,682/. The house had agreed
to various proposals for the comfort of the men,
and increase of expense was the inevitable result,
and a portion of the increase was caused by the
new regulations for the promotion of the officers
in the marines. In vote No. 2, victuals, for clothing
for seamen and marines, the amount asked this
rear was 1,335,842/., being a net increase of
94,2281., but 90,5001. of this was duo to other de-
partmona, and therefore for the purposes of com-
parison the increase was only 3,7281. In vote No.
11, for new works, buildings, machinery, and
repairs, which was important in amount, but which
did nut involve a question of policy, there
was a decrease of 74,3511. On vote No. 6,
for dockyards and naval yards at home and abroad,
there was a decrease of 151,806/. the amount being
1,223,5621. this year as against 1,375,3681., but
on vote No. 10, naval stores, for building and re-
pairing the fleet, steam machinery, and shipabuiltby
oontract, there was an increase of 231,9411. He next
came to what he described as the most important
branch of naval expenditure, the building of ships of
war. The ships that were being built, according to the
programme of last year, were 37 unarmed ships and
four armed ships in the dockyards ; and when he
came into office there were three armour-clad ships
and 14 unarmed ships which were being built
under contract in private yards. The estimated cost
of the four armour-clads was 915,5181., and of the 14
unarmoured ships, 210,8001., making a total of
1,156,3001., but the contract price was somewhat
less, and therewas a surplus of 67,5001. on that
head. Fourarmour-clads were launched duringthe
year, and 25 unarmoured ships. In the ensuing
year they proposed to build two corvettes at Deptford,
and when they were finished it was not intended
to lay down any more ships in that yard. It was
also intended to build six new armour-clad ships,
three in the dockyards,and three by contract. There
was no doubt of the great superiority of turret
ships for coast defence, and one of the new
armour-clad would be a turret ship, which
would be capable of going to sea but they
did not intend her for a cruising ship. By the
31st October they hoped to have seven armour-
clad ships for cruising purposes. In conclusion,
the right hon. gentleman referred to the general
state of the navy, which he described to be moat
satisfactory, the desertions being less than for-
merly, and the health cf the men very good.
Mr. CHTLDLas criticised the statement in detail,
and said the reduction in the ships and men on the
foreign stations was in pursuance of recommenda-
tions from the opposition aide of the house. He
approved of the intention to build more iron-clads,
but he an stronglyon the increase in the
wages to marines, arising from the circumstance
that though the number of men was decreased the
number of officers was. increased. He moved that
the sum required for the wages of the marines be
reduced by 60,000/.
After some discussion the amendment was nega-
tived by 127 to 73.

Colonel SYMIS condemned the policy of having
the squadron on the south-east coast of Africa, and
moved the reduction of the vote by 20,0001., but
after some conversation the amendment was with-
drawn, and the vote, which was 3,036,6341., was
agreed to.

The house then resumed, and, the other orders
having been gone through, adjourned at 1 o'clock.
