IN RR BAILEY AND BRINNIR.

This was the certificate meeting in the cue of Charles
Bailey sad H. J. N. Skinner, manufacturing chemists, of
Lime-street and of Colchester. The accounts, prepared by
Messrs. Hart Brothers and Hayles, extend over ten
months, terminating in June last, sad show unsecured
debts of 9,2041., with assets of about 11001. Further debts
to the amount of 8,0641. ore secured by property returned
as of the value of 14,8921. There were no profits.
Bailey's capital was stated at 3,739/., and ninnies at
4,2851. Their trade and personal expenses had been 4,Z71. ;
losses, 4,870/.
Mr. Pennell, in his report on the case, states that the
bankrupt, had been in partnership ten months only, but
Bailey had been in business movers' rears before. tikinner's
capital was bona tide, consisting of cash at the banker's ;
but that of Bailey was considerably over-stated. The
trading had been very unprofitable. On • return of 14,5381.,
there had been a loss of 1,43:11., and the aggrepte of losses
and expenses had been 8,2981. Notwithstanding this dia.
Nitrous termination of their trading, the books bad been
well kept, and the balencesheets were corroborated thereby.
Mr. Bagley was for the assigner; Mr. Lewrance ap-
peared for the bankrupt Skinner; and Mr. C. E. Lewis for
Batley.
Mr. Begley said there was a great difference between the
ewes of the two bankrupts, Niciuner having brought into
the firm a capital of 4,00/1., and the other bankrupt being
without capital. The hitter was a MAW of considerable ex-
perieuee ; :Skinner was a ytung man. just of age when he
became a member of the firm. The stock was overvalued ;
some chemical liquors, which hider had purchased for
401., had been valued at 4,0/01. la March last a bill of sale
had been given to Mr. Kingsford, of Fenchurchstreet • in
a month after lie took poeseasiou, and the bankrupt's being
unable to carry on their business, came to the court a few
days after.
Mr. Pennell, in answer to the court, stated that there
would be no dividend.

After besting Mr. C. E. Lewis and Mr. Lawinnce for the
bankrupts,
His Honour said there was a very dear and *pall, dn.
tinction between the two bankrupts. As an honest man
Bailey ought to have stopped in 1860, instead of tskiog
into partnership • young man with 4,000/., which had
been wholly lost. Bailey's so-called capital was worth
nothing, and he ought to have held his band.
As reganleil Skinner, this wee one of the hardest
cases the court had ever known ; his 4,000 guineas bud been
entirely lost. He would Twelve a certificate of the first
class, to which be was fully entitled ; and the court hoped
he would yet be succeadul en basemen, notwithstanding the
lams be bed sustained. Bailey, who did not come out of the
one creditably, would only receive a certificate either of
the snood or third elan—the court would take time to con.
eider which.

Ngaruswahia, June 7, 1867-
Frieud the Governor,—Selutatioes to you. This is •
word to you from the Maori Runanga. Hearken I This ig
our thought to you. Tell us of the death for this island
first, and let the fighting be afterwards. Let not the pro-
ceeding be like that in the came of Taraaski, which we and
you worked at in the dark • we did not understated what
was the good of that quarrel Let you and me deliberate
carefully this time; these are our thoughts at the present
time. We hear " korero" (reports), the report of which
is going about Waikato, and comes from where you are :
that the general insists upon (urges) a war with Waikato.
I If this report is correct, write to us ; let the talk come
first, and do you carefully weigh the matter (tuna
the matter over in your mind.) Let thin be the
result of reflection, even the withdrawal of the troops, who
we hear are clearing the roads. If a stockade is made
for the soldiers at Te It. (Mangatawluri), and at other
places, our opinion is this :—Be nut in haste is begin hos-
tilities ; let us duly remember the words of St. Jaw"
"'Slow to wrath, swift to hear." This, 0 Governor, is
what we think ; do yon look to them things, even tightMg
with words against the errors or offences of the Maones.
and let it (the offence) be clearly laid down, that the eyes
of the great and of the small may clearly perceive it, ere
you be swift to wrath. This is our policy : We are not
going to rise up to fight ; rather will we wait until the eyes
have MOO ON save heard, and understanding has tutored
into the limn; thee shall we see what is the good of fight-
ing, and there will be a just cause for the chastisement
indicted upon evil men, that is, us Maories.
But now, oh friend ! restrain your angry feelings against
all parte rieNew Zealand. Let our warfare be Mot of the
lips alone. If such be the course pursued by us it will be
a long path, our days will be many while engaged in fight-
ing that battle. Let it not be transferred to the' battle
(fought) with hands. That is • bad rued, • short path
our days will nut be many while engaged with the edge of
the sword. But do you, the firstborn of God's sons, consider
these things. Let not you and me be committed to the
short path ; let us take the circuitous one, though circuit-
ous, its windier+ are upon firm ground.

THR ROYAL TOMR.HOUTR AT WINDSOR.

The Royal tomb-house, in which the body of the
late Duchess of Kent will be temporarily deposited,
is a lofty stone edifice to which aeons is
gained through a subterraneons purge situated at
the foot of the altar in St. I ;eorge's ChapeL It was origi-
nally built by Beery VII. as a burial place for himself cud
hi. sacs-noon ; that monarch, however, altering his pur-
;sae, designed the magnificent chapel at Westminster,
where his antique and stately monument has been the
admiration of thousands. Cardinal Wilsey, on
corning into possession of the structure at Wiodise,
began a sumptuous cenotaph for himself, whence
this building obtained the name of the " Wilsey
Tomb-house.“ Previously to his .lisgrace the canlinal
had nearly completed his object. The monument was coni-
posol of white and black marble, with elaborately wrought
brazen columns, candlesticks, kc., and it is said that
Benedetti had received 4,250 ducats for what he
had executed, and that the expense of gilding had already
eareeded 380/. The unfinished tomb was seised by
the parliament in 16-Id, and the ornaments ware
sold to Colonel Veon, the Governor of Windsor
Cork, se "old braes," for WO/. James 11. then fitted the
plate up as a Roman catholic chapeL This aroused the in-
digestion al the people, and from that time down to
the reign of George 111. the property remained
eoirlected. George 1I l. repaired the exterior and
excavated a vault fifteen feet in depth, which be had fitted
up as a mausoleum, under the direction of Mr. Wyatt, for
himself and family. On each side of the vault, which
corresponds with the dimensions of the building, are
recesses, formed by Gothic octagonal columns, each
with a range of four shelves to receive the bodies
of the deceased. The interior has since been com-
pletely repaired, the royal tombs having been long
beneath a floor of rubbish. The turrets and pinnacles have
also been restored. In the royal tomb-house are buried
I;trot's' 111. sod IV. and William IV. ; queen Charlotte
and 44011011 Laski& ; the Dukes of York sad Kent ; the
Prisoner Ameba, Charlotte, and Augurs; sad the Prison

this towns. A good dual having been said about
the land of tho company in the neighbourhood
of Ottawa. be (the chairman) wished th state that although
they had no land within from seven to ten
miles of that city, they had 120,000 acres
unilithosed of in that section of the province,
and the value of this land would no doubt be much ad-
vanced by the Milne of capital and population to the seat
of government. The chairman further remarked that
the harvest of Iti6o was perhaps the best that
Canada had ever known, and that theesporfahadinthatyear,
for the first time, considerably exceeded the imports, and ex-
ceeded in value the exports of 1539 by nearly 10,000,000d01a ;
adding that the proprietors might reasonably anticipate a
handsome dividend in next July.
Thanks were then voted to the chairman and the other
directors, and the meeting separated.

Piedmont, which was so unjustly attacked, and con-
tested the reproach of irreligion. He supported
the policy of Piedmont in Italy, which responded
to the national sentiment, and would lead to the
establishment of the Italian nationality either by
confederation or by unification. Never (he said)
has Piedmont acted ungratefully towards France.
Italy and Piedmont will never forget the generous
deeds of France. The two nations will always be
sisters.

Paragraphs 18 and 19 were agreed to.
On the paragraph relating to Syria,
M. Gullaumin proposed an amendment, the sense
of which, although agreeing with the address, was
more distinctly expressed.
M. Nogent Laurent lamented the feeling of dis-
trust which prevailed against England. He ad-
mitted that the French troops had not left Syria at
the date first fixed, but it was only because tran-
quillity was not re-established. England was
wrong in supposing that the object of the occupa-
tion was to deprive her of the route to India. The
French, he said, occupied Syria simply from motives
of humanity.

M. Baroche said that the whole world was in
favour of the maintenance of the patronage of
France over the Christians in the East. He con-
sidered the address satisfactory. France, he said,
intends completely to fulfil her mission. He ex-
premed a hope that the international commission
would soon accomplish its mission, and said there
was no reason for attacking any other nation on
account of this question.
Paragraphs 20, 21, and 22 were then adopted.

M. Inuit declared that the government would
energetically carry on the expedition in Cochin
China.

Paragraphs 23 and 24 were agreed to, after the
rejection of two amendments of MM. Jouvenel and
Lelut, in favour of the King of Naples.
The Chamber then adjourned.

TO TER XDITOR OF PHI ZIPILZBB.

rend with considerable surprise, in your

African Herald, to the effect, that as nothing marked
the grave where the unfortunate L. E. L. lies buried at

attended by the °Goers of the civil and military depart•
manta, had recently repaired the neglect, by placing a
Latin cross of marble, with the simple letters 1.. E. L., over

On the 16th instant Prince Gortchakoff issued
the following proclamation to the inhabitants of
Warsaw :

To put an end to the attempts of those evibminded per-
sons who try to get up demonstrations in the streets, no
matter of what nature they may be, it is again made known
by these presents that all manifestations are illegal and
dangerous to public tranquillity, and that consequently all
assemblages in the squares or streets with a view to mani-
festations or processions whatsoever which are not ordered
by the ecclesiastical suthorities are strictly forbidden.
Inhabitants of Warsaw, listen to my warning, and do
not compel me to employ painful means to put down dir
order by armed force. The police authorities are charged at
the same time to communicate this present warning to all
householders, so that they may inform their inmates of the
same, in order that no one can pretend to be ignorant of it.
Telegraphic advice@ of the 18th announce that the
Commission of Safety continued its functions under
the presidency of General Lewinski The commission
had placed itself in communication with all the prin-
cipal towns of the aingdom, where, according to its
instructions, the same sort of urban police had been
formed as at Warsaw. In consequence of these
well-advised measures the pacific movement was
extending to every province.

The Committee of Education was to commence
its functions on the 20th inst. One of its first
steps would be, it is said, to ask for the restoration
of the University of Warsaw, and to maintain the
principle of national education.

tion to export or import government credit notes

About noon to-day, a double crime wan perpe-
trated in Carlisle-street that, being the attempted murder 1
of a young woman by her father-in-law, and the suicide of
the man. his name is Thomas Towhead, echoes melon,
Maenad'', about 40 years of age ; and the female is Elisel
Fisher about 20 years of age. She had been living with ,
Townsend, at Atterchife, until about a mouth ago, when &hal
cone to reside with her aunt, who is the wife of Alfred Shop-
herd, a roll turner, and who lives in Windsor-street. It is
believed that the young woman has been living with her fa-
ther•in-law on immoral terms, and that be was the father of
a child which she had some time since, and who died.
As already stated, about a month ago she left him, being die-
poled imilt.her way of life. Townsend was much annoyed
at her leaving him, and has frequently endeavoured to get
her batik. lie has visited her two or three times, and bee
tried to persuade her to return ; but she was firm in re-
fusing, and has been kaown to express to other persons a
feeling of shlassrsses for his It a probably owing to a
foaling of at the poor girl having refused to live
agate with him Townsend eomtnitted the act ot which
he has bees ty. The mime was committed at the house
of Mr. John Tie, builder, Oarlisle.stroet But, with whom
she had bens living as domestic servant for abouta fortnight.
About 12 &sleek belay Townsend hawked at the book
door, and it was answered by Mrs. Travis. When she
opened the dear he said, "Is Rim there r and Mrs. Travis
replied "Yee," nod he immediately called her. The young
woman, who was Gleaming upstairs, came down, and went
eutaide to talk to him. They remained in conversation
shoat ten minutes • but Mrs. Travis baud nothing unusual
till the sound of a pistil struck her ear. She immediately
opened the door, and was met by the girl, who staggered
towards her, threw up her arms, and fell on the doorway.
Almost instantly following, Mrs. Travis heard the report of
another pistol. Polioenoustable James King, who was on
duty in the neighbourhood, hastened to the spot on heating
the noise. He found Townsend lying on his back.
He was quite. dead. His coat was fastened across with
string, and a piece in the centre of the coat, and also is the
waistcoat underneath, was completely blown away by the
effect of the shot. A corresponding hole was drilled into
the body over the heart, and the heart and part of the lungs
were exposed to view. The unfortunate young woman was
I found to be very seriously injured. She was conveyed to
bed, and Mr. Fotberhy, surgeon, was sent for. Oa his
arrival he found that the shot bad passed through her stays
sad entered her left side. It is feared that the injury may

FATAL ACCIDENTS ON IRISH RAILWAYS.

At about four on Friday evening au accident
occurred, attended with a most melancholy result, at the
junction of the railway now in program of completion be-
twcen the branch of the Dundalk and fr.:nniskillen Itailwav
from Clone,, to Cavan and the Midland Great Western Rail-
way. A nietal.covered bridge is being erected across the road
leading from Cavan to Killeshundra, and at the time above
stated name ten labourers were engaged in raising a ham-
mered itoue of some ten or twelve hundredweight to place
in its limper position on the wall, which was nearly at its
proper elevation for the reception of the iron rail work fur
the permanent bridge. At this moment the materials of the
acaitu:iling gave way, when the whole of the men were pre-
cipitated to the ground, a distance of some 14 or 13 feet,
and, nielauchuly to relate, the stone fell upon the labourers,
seriously injunug some live or six of them, and having
fallen 0:1 the head M a >oung man ut the name of Thomas
Maguire (who was a lance coreoral in the Cavan Militia
previous to their ihsenibudinieut in July last), aged about
25 years, liteially crushing out his brains, of course, he
died icstantaneuualy. This is the 14th or 13th accident,
four or five of windi terminated fatally, which has oa
cursed since the commencement of this branch line.
As the 3 p.m. up train Inge Cork was approaching
liallt-
namona Church, on liaturday, the driver of the engine
observed a man crossing the rails, when he immediately
gave the alarm whistle, but unfortunately the man was deaf
and took no notice. The train could not be stopped till it
had pared over the pour fellow, severing the head from the
body, and taking one leg clean off. On inquiry being made
as to his business on the line, it was ascertained that he had
been engaged with other men cutting hay on the slopes,
and had by then, been sent for refreshments, with which he
was returning when the fatal accident occurred.
