BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Large supplies of old potatoes continue on sale at these
market for the time of year, and the trade rules heavy in
the extreme at irregular prices. Inferior qualities are
taken by cowkeepers as low as 20s, and 255, 30s,
and 35s per ton. For new potatoes—the supply of which is
seasonably good—there is a steady demand, at from 12s to
20a per cwt. The import last week was confined to Por-
tuguese produce, 2,672 boxes having been received from
Liston and 12 boxes from Oporto.

WOOL.
The attendance of buyers at the public sales of colonial

wool continues good Both for Capo and Australian pro-
duce the biddings were active, and the late advance in prices
is in moat instances supported. In the private contract
trade for English wool, however, there is less activity, and
the quotations have a downward tendency. In the manu-
facturing districts Irish hogget wool has fallen ld to lid
per lb from the late highest point. The imports into Lon-
don last week amounted to 6,346 bales from Geelong, 3,811
from Melbourne, 5,426 Port Philip, 138 Port Natal, and
about 200 bales from sundry ports.

quarter. The transactions in other seeds were on a fair

business transacted in cakes, at previous quotations.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner 1-131royl)
RE WILLIAMS.

The bankrupt was a gentleman and a large shareholder
in a public company now being wound up in the Court of
Chancery, and be was made bankrupt whilst out of the
country.

The case has been a long time before the court, every step
in the proceedings having been disputed, and ultimately the
bankrupt obtained an order of the court to stay the adver-
tisement of adjudicati.n to give the bankrupt an opportunity
of appealing to the Lord Chancellor. This he had done,
but the appeal was dismissed, his lordship, however, inti-
mating that the bankrupt might appeal to the House of
Lords on giving security for the property. It was now
urged by Mr. Roxburgh that the appeal having been dis-
missed, the order for stay of proceedings ought to be
rescinded, as the bankrupt had not given the security re-
quired.

Mr. Sargool contended that as a special case was being
prepared en which to appeal to the House of Lords, dis-
puting the adjudication, this court could not now interfere.
His Honour ultimately said that he should leave the
petitioning creditor to go before the Lord Chancellor on that
point.
