COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr Commissioner Bolroyd.)

IN RE WILDES.

This was an adjourned examination of this bankrupt,,
who was an attorney at Maidstone, and was clerk of the
peace for the county of Kent. The meeting had been
adjourned for a cash and deficiency account. The liabilities
being £4.,828; assets, £26,117; deficiency, £16,711. A
ftirther adjournment was taken by consent till the 4th of
November.

IN RE ELLEN NASH.
This was an adjourned examination meeting. The bank-
rupt is a widow, and resided in the Euston-road.
Mr Perry Godfrey, for the assignees, said the bankrupt
did not appear, and therefore asked fur an adjournment sine
die, without pr,,tection. The bankrupt was the widow of
an officer formerly in the service of the East India Cow-
any, and she was entitled to an allowance of £2lO a year
from the Bengal Military Fund. Her debts only amounted
to £l3O, and the case was allowed to stand over for the
payment of the debts by two instalments ; she had, however,
only paid £l5, and had since received £6O and not paid
anything. Mr Godfrey said he cuuld not ask for en order
to stop the pay, as the Fund was exempted under the 44th
section of the act,

His Honour granted the adjournment sine die accor
dingly.

(Before Mr Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE TOM SURRIDGE.

This was a meeting for the last examination of this
bankrupt, who was described as of Coventry street, Picca-
dilly, lice sed victualler. The account by Messrs. Hart
show:—Debtor to creditors unsecured, £2,452; ditto hold-
iug security, £1,020; creditors' property given up, £583;
ditto in the hands of creditors, £5,500 ; Deficiency, £1,368.
Mr. Sargood asked for an adjournment, to investigate a
claim by the bankrupt's father, who had paid off a mortgage
by the brewers, and as second aiortgageehad taken to tha
whole of the property.
Mr. Reel, for the bankrupt, opposed the adjournment—
the bankrupt had, without having been called upon to do
so, instructed Messrs Hart, his accountants, to file a cash
and deficiency account, which they had done.
His H nour thought the assignees were entitled to an
adjournment to investigate the affairs, and granted it ac-
cordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

THE FOREIGN LOTTERY SCHEXERS.—APPLICATION
TO THE MAGISTRATE.—CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—Mr
Makins, barrister, waited upon Mr Tyrwhat this morning
to ask his advice under the following circumstances
Mr Makins said that on the 30th of May last the widow
of a lieutenant-colenel expired at her residence in Glouces-
ter-terrace, Hyde-park, and the announcement of her death
appeared in a newspaper. A few days after a letter was
received from Frankfurt addressed to the deceased lady, and
was opened by her daughter. The letter was as follows .
'' Maaame--In conformity with your order we beg leave
to hand you six shares in the New Austrian Loan, the
drawing of which take;• place on the 10th September. As
you perceive by the enclosed prospectus the ew Loan
offers more advantage than any other hitherto. Please remit
the amount of £5 in a Bank note or Post-office order, pay-
able to J. Dalt reff, London, but sent direct to us at Frank-
fort-on-the-Maine. You may rest assure(' that every atten-
tion will be pai,l to your interests as if you were present at
the drawing, and an official list will be provided, Thanking
you for your kind order and wishing you every success.—
We remain yours respect:ully, "J, DALTROFF."
" Frankfurt-on-tbc-Maine, June."

Enclosed in the lel ter were six shares which, with the
letter, were handed to him as a friend of the family by the
daughter of the deceased. He then want to the address of
the London agent, No. 12, Langham-street, Portland-place,
and asked tor Mr Daltroff, but saw a foreigner who said Mr
Daltroff was not there. He then asked the foreigner whether
he knew anything about the shares, and he said he did not,
hu., asked his name and address and said he would com-
municate with the firm at Frankfort. A fortnight after he
(Mr ,N 1 akins) received the following letter from Frankfort:—
" Franktort:on-the- Maine, June 30.

" Sir,—l have heard through Mr Ch. Hellen, of London,
that ycu called on me to inquire by what means we received
an order for shares from Mrs M. Our traveller, Mr H.
Morgan, called on Mrs M. at the latter end of March, and
from ber received the order for those six shares in the New
Austrian Loan, which we sent on the 10th inst. Now we
regret to hear that Mrs M. is dead, and we leave entirely to
you to keep the shares or not, but in the latter case, beg
you to return them as soon as possible.—We remain, &c.
" G. DALTROFF."
He (Mr Makins) wished to state that at the very time it
was stated the traveller called on the deceased lady she was
seen by no other person than her doctor, having been bed •
ridden for some time, and that she was then in a dying
state Another remarkable feature was, that although it
was pretended the order for the shares was given in March,
it was not executed till alter the death of the lady was an•
nounot d in the paper.

Mr Tyrwhitt—Then, no five pounds were got out of any
one?

Mr Makins said that no money was obtained, and the
shares were still in his possession. lie wished to know
what he had better do with them. He thought if publicity
were given to the matter, it would act as a warning to others.
The parties seemed to have chosen a widow lady, thinking
they would succeed better.
Mr Tyrwhitt hoped publicity would be given to Mr
Makins's statement. The press was never more useful
than when exposing cases of the kind, The press could
always show such persons up advantageou.ly to the public.
It was well known that at Frankfort there was a regular
mint for such things and also for supplying counter eit
money. He believed the Post office authorities had stopped
the annoyance to some extent. He would advise Mr Makins
to retain possession of all the papers he had received in case
something might turn up.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.-TUESDAY.

" The other side of the Ditch" is an agreeable change
from the rather sterile aspect of that portion of the Heath
generally used for racing, and the July Meeting, if the
weather be but propitious, is ons of the pleasantest of the
gatherings at headquarters. The great interest of to-day,
or, indeed, of the whole week, centred in the meeting of
Liddington and the Duke in the July, their previous per-
formances marking them out as the two best of the young
ones the year has yet shown. The other events were devoid
of interest, and to-day's card was meagre in the extreme.
The smallness of the field for the priacipal event checked
speculation to some extent, nothing being backed but the
two cracks, Both had an eager crowd attending the sad-
dling, while the Due de itlorny's Lelio, one of the hand-
somest West Australian's wo have yet seen, commanded
univcasal admiration, though looking hardly as fit, as he
might have been. After oscillating all the morning, Mr
Merry's horse was the favourite at the close. The issue,
as was expected, was lift to the two favourites, who came
together half a mile from home, the Duke apparently hav-
!ng the best of it at the plantation, bat Liddingron collared
him within a few yards of the chair, and to she astonish-
ment of the spectators snatched the rice out of the fire by a
neck. Judd was, in fact, " caught nipping," and the race
therefore cannot be considered as a true run one.

The attendance was large for a July Meeting, and the
weather evolything that could be desired.
A topic of conversation has been afforded the Newmarket
habitués by William Butler having resigned the ca:e of
Lord Stamtord's horses. His IDrdship's new trainer is
William Smi h, who has been for some time in a similar
capacity with the Due de Morny.

investigation, the acting steward overruled the first objec-
tion, but referred the second to the Jockey Club, as it was
not clear to him whether it was accidental or otherwise.

The French Press and the Conference,

All the Paris journals have commented on the
failure of the Conference, but none with more tell-
ing effect than the following remarks of the Siecle ;
—" In the Conference the attitude of the English
Cabinet has certainly nut been what it ought to
have been, for nothing could be more vacillating or
more obscure. What a fall off was there from the
discussions in the Congress of Paris; and people,
on reading the protocols, ask themselves whether
the English Plenipotentiaries have •lost the habit of
speaking. First, they allowed Denmark to be
beaten on the question of the blockade. As the
allies were occupying Jutland, the Danes ought
to have had at least some compensation. On
the contrary, the blockade, the only arm which
they possessed, was taken from them, and
.hostilities were only suspended on the con-
dition that it should be raised. The Earl
of Clarendon confined himeulf to mildly protest-
ing, but by his language everyone could see that he
felt that, on the blockade being raised by Denmark,
German commerce breathed again, and Germany
could no longer be moved by means of the lever of
fear. Ater having allowed, in the second and third
sitting of the Conference, Denmark to be beaten on
the question of the blockade, England in the fourth
sitting abandoned with an unexampled facility the
Treaty of London made in 1851-52. Instead of
taking that treaty as the starting-point for the dis-
cussion, she accepted the accord on the basis of fresh
engagements, as if what was certain should ever be
abandoned for the uncertain. The English Plenipo-
tentiaries, before thus sweeping away the Treaty of
London, should have at least required to know what
the allies intended to put into its place, and the
Danish Plenipotentiary, M. Quaade, who con-
tended for the country with a rare merit, reproached
them with it more than once. ' What is asked of
us P' he said; we cannot propose conditions; we
are guaranteed by the Treaty of 1852. You tear it
up ; tell us what you want ; we have nothing to
propose. It is for you, who pat something in the
plane of the Treaty to say what that something is.'
After having abandoned the Danes on the subjects
of the blockade and the treaty, the English Pleni-
potentiaries very Bean abandoned them also on the
question of Schleswig ;—' We may, indeed, give up
Holstein, but there has never been a question of a
Federal execution in Schleswig. That country is
Danish. Take Holstein and leave us.' But even
on that point Denmark was not supported, and in
the sitting of the 28th May, Earl Russell declared,
with what we consider to be an unqualified impru-
dence, that, ' in order to prevent any future dispute,
and satisfy Germany, Holstein must be entirely se-
parated from the Danish monarchy with Lauenburg
and the southern part of Schleswig.' This was
sacrificing the protiyi, instead of saving it. Such a
declaration was a formal recognition of the preten-
sions of Germany. It was placing the brutal fact in
the place of right. In advancing it, Earl Russell
should have been sure that the allies would accept it.
But, being henceforth certain of their triumph,
they had no longer need to observe any restraint ;
they accordingly rejected successively everything
that was proposed—the line of the Schlei, the aban-
donment of the right of fortification in the Duchies,
and they also demanded Tondern in addition." But
it is above all to Earl Russell that the article attri-
butes the failure of the negotiations :—" The Presi-
dent, Earl Russell," it says, "did not know how
to direct a Conference, and every one spoke on
his own account. There. was no common centre of
resistance. Every one felt that a head was wanting
in that assembly of diplomatists, and that England,
who was to have provided it, did not know what
she wanted. She got up the Conference, she pre-
sided over it without any fixed idea, and even se ith-
out the determination to arrive by some means at
peace ; in a word, she was below, instead of above,
her mission. She must be considered as doubly
guilty. The fear of America and France which she
now manifests is not sufficient to absolve her. Count
de Bismarck, in renewing the Holy Alliance, proves
to her that she has gone astray. She is now isolated
and alone, and has compromised all the future of
the liberty of Europe."

HEALTH OF LONDON.

(From the .Reyistrar- General' s Report.)

The number of deaths in London in the week that ended
last Saturday was 1,297. In each of the four weeks of June
the deaths wet e not much less than 1,300,but those of young
persona increased during the month from 638 to 702, while
those of persons aged 60 years and upwards declined from
232 in each of the weeks ending 4th, 11th, and 18th June
to 206 last week,

The average number of deaths in the 26th week of 19
years, 185463, is, with a correction for increase of popula-
.ion, 1,242. The present return exhibits an excess of 55.
Diarrhoea shows a steady but not rapid progress with the
advance of the warm period of the year. The fatal cases
of it were in the last four weeks 19, 26, 62, and 71. Measles
carried off 81 children, about half of whom died in the East
districts, where this complaint chiefly prevails.
Seven deaths from measles were registered in the week in
the sub-district of St. Mary, St. George-in-the-East. The
Registrar states that the disease continues to be very preva-
lent, and though it was mild at the commencement, it is
now of a malignant type, which character it assumed a few
weeks ago.
There were 12 deaths from measles in the district of
Bethnal-green, and 6 in the North sub-district of White-
chapel.
Out of the 71 deaths from diarrhoea 24 were returned in
the North districts. There were 10 in Pancras.

In King's College Hospital, on the 18th nit., a woman
died under chloroform ad ministered for removal of a tumour.

A femalQ servant died in the London Hospital from
elephantiasis, erysipelas.
Two girls, twins, aged 5 years, were poisoned by sucking
lucifer matches.

Last week the births of 1,051 boys and 949 girls, in all
1,999 children, were registered in London. In the 10 cor-
responding weeks of the years 1864-63 the average ritubber
(correctd) was 1,939.

THE PRESENTATION (P HUDDERSFIELD —A
requisition has been addressed to Lieut.-Colonel
Crossland by the electors of Huddersfield. It was signed
by 950 electors, the number who voted for Mr Leatham hav-
ing been only 800. At a meeting held last night Lieut.-
Colonel Crossland said he would go to the poll as a Re-
former. He was in favour of a£6 borough and £lO county
franchise, and opposed to the ballot. He would advocate a
just settlement of the church-rate question. He approved
the course of Government towards America. He was of
opinion that it would be suicidal in us to interfere in the
Danish war, the time for our interference being past. He
believed, however, that we had wronged Denmark by rais-
ing her expectations.

LANCASHIRE EMIGRANTS TO AMERICA.—The
Ashton .Reporter publishes the following letter from
an emigrant to the United States :--" Webster, June 10,
1864. Dear Sister,--Keep your spirits up; I have to keep
mine up. You wish you had come with us. It you had
you would have been like me, you would have cried many
an hour, and wished yourself beak. I have done it many
a time. Lots of our people have gone away; some will
never come back. He (the master) wanted us to work for
very low wages. We shall be straight with the master in
about nine months ; we have to pay £9 each tor our passage
money. You say you like' money. We can get it here,
and we know how to spend it. Butter is 2s. per lb, sugar
10d. ; and everything else in proportion. The stuff you
give 6d. a yard for we give 2s. Id. ; so you see if we get
good money we can spend it. The reason why the peo-
ple ran away was, he wanted us to work for very
low wages, and sign a paper saying we would work
the hours he wanted us, and to pay £l2 each for our pas-
sage. When we would not sign the papers he stopped the
stores, and would not let us have anything to eat ; so we
said if we must not have anything to eat we would not
work; and we called a meeting, and three men went to
seek work for us all, but he overtook them and locked them
up. It was Saturday, and the men had all to keep out of
sight, or he would have locked them all up. But the three
made their escape on the Sunday, and went to different
counties to find out what wages were being paid. Some he
has got back, and he is giving them what they could get
elsewhere. In a very little time he would have had us like
slaves if we would have allowed him, but we told him we
were in a free country. Wo wrote to the British Consul for
protection, and he pretended all for us, but the master sent
for him to breakfast, and then he pleaded for the master.
He cannot lock the women up ; they can go away any day.
Some went away with three chemises and a bundle under
their hoops, because he would not let them take their boxes.
Talk about ' Uncle Tom's Cabin," but I have seen it since
1 came here. The master went to Canada four years
since, and brought a lot of French Canadians, and a lot of
them went away. Those who stayed he did not give any
wages to for 12 months. Two years since he went to Ire-
land and brought a lot of Irish, and a lot of them went
away, and now he has been to England for a lot of English.
He thought we were greenhorns, but we are jacksharps.
He is very kind to us now. We don't get our wages, but
wa have a book, and he lets us have the money we ask
for—the re-t ho keeps for our passage money. This is th.
ruth and nothing bu' the truth. The master says he will
report.ua in the Ashton Reporter. Lhe d.)e3, you report
this. So no more at present from your affectionate mother
and sister,
