IN RE ALDRIDGE.

This bankrupt, Mrs M artbs, Aldridge, had carried on
business in the Borough market, and her total debts
amount to £l4O, £lO9 of which is for law costs, It appeared
that she had•brought an action against a railway company
for damage sustained by the non• delivery of goods, and in
the first instance obtained a verdict ; but which was, how-
ever, set aside on one of those technicalities under the
Carriers' Law of shifting responsibility.
The bankrupt obtained an immediate order of discharge,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SUCCESSFUL MENDICANT, - Thomas Roberts, a
miserable.• looking eld man, was charged before Mr Yardley
with begging.
Edmund Hutton, 34 C, proved seeing the prisoner begging
of ladies and gentlemen in Soho-square. On searching the
prisoner at the station he found 7s 6d in his possession.
Burns, the gaoler, stated that a short time ago the
prisoner was brought to the court on a similar charge, and
then about 16s was found upon him.

Mr Yardley said it was clear the prisoner was an in-
corrigible, and certainly a successful beggar. He should
commit him for a month with hard labour.

the entire line, now ceased at half past ten, and prepara-
tions were made to draw off our forces from the field and
return to our intrenchments, The artillery was sent to the
rear except a section to cover the rear guard. The ambu-
lances with the wounded and the supply trains were de-
spatched to the rear, and finally the entire army fell back,
the enemy hot pursuing. Thus ended this rebel attack
on our lines. The same correspondent says of Katz' raid
on the Richmond and Danville road, that he tore up seve-
ral miles of track, destroyed the rails and ties, and has
blown up the iron bridge over the Appomattox river at
Mattox Station. General Sheridan's forces again started
on a raid round Richmond yesterday, the 15th. The cavalry
wil; keep the railroad connection to Richmond out for a
while. Another Herald correspondent says Butler's forces
are safely in their intrenchments, and able to withstand an
attack from all the forces the rebels can bring against them.
The object of Butler in making his advance from City Point
to Bermuda Hundred was to create a diversion in favour of
Grant, and he was eminently successful.

METROPOLITAN TRAFFIC.

The following is a copy of the bill brought into
the House of Commons by Alderman Salomons, Mr
Locke, Mr Jackson, and Mr T. Mil'er, to facilitate
the traffic of the metropolis by improving the com-
munications across the river Thames:—
Whereas it will conduce greatly to the public advantage
to facilitate the passage of traffic across the Thames within
the metropolis, and with that view it is expedient that power
should be given to the Metropolitan Board of Works to
purchase any one or more of the bridges named in the sche-
dule annexed hereto; be it enacted by the Queen's most ex-
cellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the
Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons. in this pre-
sent Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the
same, as follows :-
1. The Metropolitan Board of Works may purchase by
agreement any one or more of the said scheduled bridges,
and any bridge so purchased shall ever thereafter be open
for public use free from toll. It shall be the duty of the said
board to endeavour to purchase Southwark and Waterloo
bridges before purchasing the said other bridges.
2. The company to whom any of the said bridges belong,
if they are not otherwise authorised to sell the same, shall
have power to sell and convey the same to the Metropolitan
Board of Works, by a resolution passed at a meeting of the
company specially summoned for the purpose, by a majority
of two-thirds of the votes of the persons present at that
meeting, and entitled to vote thereat.

3. For the purpose of defraying the expenses of the pur-
chase of any bridge in pursuance of this act the Metropoli-
tan Board of Works may levy a rate, to be called a bridge
rate, not to exceed Id in the pound, until Jan. 1, ISB4, and
such rate shall be levied in the same manner, from the
same persons, and subject to the same conditions of appeal,
and otherwise, as a main drainage rate.
4. The corporation of London shall contribute out of the
Bridgehouse Estates Fund a sum of not less than £50,000
towards the purchase money of Southwark-bridge, and in
levying any rate for the purposes of this act within the city
of London or the liberties thereof allowances shall be made
proportionate to the said contribution.
5. Southwark-bridge, when purchased, shall be main-
tained by the corporation of London out of the Bridgehiouse
Estates Fund ; but any other bridge purchased by the Metro-
Naftali Board of Works shall be maintained by that board
out of the same funds as sewers within their jurisdiction:
'are now maintainable.
6. The term " bridge " shall include such approaches-to.
and other appurtenances of a bridge as belong to the com-
pany owning the bridge itself, and "persons" shall include
corporations.

IN RE ALDRIDGE.

This bankrupt, Mrs Martha Aldridge, had carried on
business in the Borough market, and her total debts
amount to £l4O, £lO9 of which is for law costa, It appeared
that she had brought an action against a railway company
for damage sustained by the non• delivery of goods, and in
the first instance obtained a verdict; but which was, how-
ever, set aside on one of those technicalities under the
Carriers' Law of shifting responsibility.

The bankrupt obtained an immediate order of discharge,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SUCCESSFUL MENDICANT. - Thomas Roberts, a
miserable-looking old man, was charged before Mr Yardley
with begging.
Edmund Hutton, 34 C, proved seeing the prisoner begging
of ladies and gentlemen in Soho-square. On searching the
prisoner at the station he found 7s 6d in his possession.
Burns, the gaoler, stated that a short time ago the
prisoner was brought to the court on a similar charge, and
then about I6s was found upon him.
Mr Yardley said it was clear the prisoner was an in-
corrigible, and certainly a successful beggar. He should
commit him for a month with hard labour.

Agricultural Chemistry,

M. Boussingault, whose important labours in
scientific agriculture are well known to our readers,
attributes, in the 3d volume of his " Agronomie,
Cnimie Agricole et Physiologie," just published, to
the oxalic acid contained in guano, qualities hitherto
overlooked by other chemists. If, he observes,
guano be treated by water, and the solution be
immediately filtered, crystals of neutral oxalate
of ammonia will be deposited by evaporation ; the
mother-ley then contains sulphate and phosphate
of ammonia; but if, instead of filtering, the
mixture be left to digest for some time, the case
is quite different ; the oxalic acid goes on dimi-
nishing in the liquid as the digestion proceeds,
and phosphoric acid is formed instead ; after 24
hours, this acid and the ammonia are in sufficient
quantity to form an abundant precipitate of phos-
pate of ammonia and magnesia, when a solution of
sulphate of ammonia is poured in. The phosphate
of ammonia is produced by the oxalate, which, being
dissolved, acts upon the phosphate of lime ; hence,
by double decomposition, we obtain a soluble
phosphate of ammonia and an insoluble oxalate
of lime. From this our author concludes that
the oxalic acid of guano is a principle of far greater
importance than has hitherto been supposed.
Both earthy and ammoniacal guano he consider.
to have the same origin ; but in the former
the disappearance of ammonia is probably due
to local circumstances, such as the abundance and
frequency of rain, which naturally favours the de,
composition of organic substances and the dissolu-
tion of ammoniacal salts. And indeed that part of
the South Sea coast where ammoniacal guano is
found, offers this peculiarity that from Tumbes to
the desert of- Atacama rain is almost unknown,
while in the parts not comprised between these
limits, north of umbes, in the impenetrable ana
marshy forests of the C.,0c0, it rains almost inces-
santly. At Pay ta,south of that province, it had not
rained for 17 years, at the time M. Boussingault was
there; and further south, at Chocope, in 7 deg.
46 min. S. lat., the rain which felt in 1726 was men-

tioned as a memorable event. Nor are there any
storms on this Peruvian coast_ An inhabitant of
Pura or Sechura does not know what thunder is,
unless he has travelled. This is the zone within
which ammoniacal guana is found; north and south
of this zone, guano, exposed as it is to tropical
showers, g nerally contains no ammonia nr soluble
salts, but retains an unsoluble one, phosphate of
lime. lhis third volume of M. Boussingault's work
contains much in teresting wetter concerning climate,
temperature, &c., chiefly comprising the results of
the author's own experience and accurate observa-
tion.

Address to King Christian.

A deputation from Kolaing (Jutland) had audi-
ence of the King on the 24th ultimo, to present an
address to his Majesty, signed by 1,600 persons of
that town and neighbourhood, designated in the
address as "having felt the burdens of the war
more severely than any other." The following is
the text of the address:—

Most Gracious King,—We approach your Ma-
Ijesty's throne at a serious moment—at a time when
every breast is filled with apprehension for the
future of our beloved fatherland. A suspension of
arms has been concluded, and the bloodshed which
has already carried mourning into so many families,
and made so many hearts heavy with grief, has
temporarily ceased. May your Majesty succeed in
replacing the armistice by peace!
Most Gracious King !—Although we arc all
anxious to enjoy once more the blessings of peace
under your M'jesty's paternal rule, we attach
higher importance to the future of the country and
independence of your Majesty as a Danish King
than to liberation from the pressure of the moment.
In the unequal contest which Denmark is carrying
on, your Majesty has appealed to the endurance of
the people, and this royal word has found an echo
in our hearts. We come frcm a district which has
felt the burdens of the war more severely than any
other; but we do not come to complain. Although
we wish for peace, we pray to Almighty God for
endurance end strength to support the sacrifices
which our just CaUSP may further entail. We "n"
elude with perfect reliance upon your Majesty,
your house, and your responsible advisers, convinced
that your Majesty's government will know how to
protect our internal freedom, so deeply rooted in
the exietence of the people, as well as our good right
and our natural independence.
May God protect your Majesty and our beloved
country.

NEW JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES.--A Parliar:den'
tary return, moved for by Lord Overstone, shows that be`
tween the beginning of last year and the 18th of May it'.
this year, 1,176 new joint-stock companies with limited
liability were registered, and the total number of shares
created reached the enormous number of 13,348,401. There'
is, however, some qualification of this statement in a n°ter
appended to the return, to the effect that the registrar of
joint-stock companies is unable to state how mail of the
shares have been really subscribed for. The persons sr"
registered these companies had only subscribed for 672,39 e
shares.
