MACKENZIE V. COCKBURN.
This action was brought by Mr. Mackenzie, a Scotch.
ale brewer, against the defendant, who had formerly
carried on business as a licensed-victualler, at the Rose.
and Crown, Parson's-street, Ratcliffe Highway, to re-
cover the sum of 61. 10s., the price of three barrels
of ale.
The only witness called in support of the plaintiff's
case was a man named Gould, who stated that he was
in the employ of the plaintiff, as town traveller, and
that the defendant had given him the order for the
three barrels, hut that no one was present at the time
such order was given.

GLOUCESTER, OCT. 10.—Arrived the Carolina, Ahuns,

CARDlFF.—Arrived the Queen Victoria, Hutchinson,
From Quebec.

For the defendant two respectable witnesses were
called, who positively swore they were dining in the bar
of the Rose and Crown on the dAy the order for the three
barrels of ale was given ; that Gould solicitt.d the defend-
ant, who was about to take the house and business, for an
order ; but that, she referred him to tier son in-law, Mr.
Roberts, the son of Mr. Roberts, the Queen's coachman,
who was then the landlord of the house ; that Roberts
gave Gould the order for the ale, and that the bill wils
made out in the name of Roberts, who had since, n
consequence of pecuniary difficulties, let the house and
business to the defendant, and gone out as steward
in a vessel to Gibialtar. The question, therefore, was
to whom was credit for the ale given ?
The LEARNED JUDGE, having summed up, the Jury
returned a verdict fur the plaintiff for the full amount.

INSOLVENT

DEBTORS' COUNT

(THIS DAY. )

Charm Henry, a furniture dealer, and grocer and
cheesetnonger, who had carried on business at Brighton,
was brought up this. morning to receive the judgment of
the Court.

. ,
The case of the insolvent was heard yesterday, when
he was opposed, on the part of a host of creditors, who
complained that he had obtained large quantities of
goods froni them, and sold them not under the cost
price, but considerably under what he had undertaken
to pay for them:
The insolvent, in his examination, gave the most
strange answers to the questions that were put to him.
He declared, upon his honour, and for the life of
him, that he could not tell the names of his
bail ; that he had not sent the goods he had re-
eel-Jed from his creditors back to them, because be
did not like to put them to the expense of carriage,
and added that it was not his custom to do so. That
he came to London, and while sipping his coffee was
disturbed by the intrusion of a sheriff's officer, who
took him to durance vile, from which he was soon re-
leased by parties becoming bail for him, but what the
names of those parties were, although relations, be
could not tell for the life of him. It appeared that the
insolvent's debts were upwards of 800/., and that he had
contracted them within a very short period. He had
obtained soap from four of the opposing creditors, and
had sold large quantities under the market price.
Mr. Woodroffe, and Mr. Cooke were heard in aggra-
vation and mitigation of punishment.
Mr. Commissioner BOWEN, in giving judgment, ob-
served, that although the mariner in which the insolvent
had given his evidence was singular and unaccountable
in the extreme, that was no ground on which to Pro-
nounce a severe judgment. Ail that the Court had to
do was to proceed upon the evidence that had been ad-
duced against the insolvent, and from that evidence it
was clear that the insolvent had obtained large quanti-
ties of goods, which he had sold under the usual price.
The insolvent must, therefore, be remanded for the full
period allowed by the discretionary clause, viz., sis
months from the vesting order. The insolvent,. 'oll°
had been out on bail, was then remanded to prison.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY.—We
continue to experience a fair demand for cotton at about
the prices of last Friday. To-day's sales 4,000 bugs,
500 of which have been taken for export.

The Lapwing, which arrived at Liverpool yesterday,
sailed from Maracaibo the 23d August ; 12th Septem-
ber, in lat. 34 30, long. 66, experienced a tremendous
gale from N.N.E. ; same day passed a brig of about
200 tons, with both topmasts gone ; 25th September,
in lat. 44, long. 35, spoke the Kent, from Liverpool to
Mirimachi.

From New Brunswick Papers received to the Bth of
September :
" The Provincial Legislature meets on Tuesday next,
and the session, which is intended to be a short one,
having been called for a special purpose, is likely to be
productive of measures of great importance to St.
John's. On Saturday last we were visited by a very
heavy storm of wind and rain from the N.E., which
it was much feared at the time would seriously injure
some of the crops. The fine weather which followed on
Stinday and the.next day or two has, however, raised
most of the grain, which was prostrated, and it is
thought that scarcely any damage has been sustained.

We hare received the Journal of Antwerp of yester-
day's date from Brussels, of the Bth October. It is
stated that the late disorders which took place at Ghent
have caused the authorities of the large towns to re-
double their vigilance. It appears that on Monday
last a society which held the fete of Zellich, and, ac-
cording to the custom of the preceding year, were re-
turning to Brussels, with their flags flying, and lighted
flambeaux, were impeded entering Brussels in triumph.
During a part'of yesterday the troops in garrison, sta-
tioned at different parts of the town, towards the night
were doubled, but no arrests took place. There is no
later accounts from Ghent than that received yesterday,
Oct. 8 ; consequently all remained quiet there.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

The statement of the public revenue has been pub-
lisr ed, and according to which we observe there has
been an increase on the quarter compared with the cor-
responding quarter of last year. There is also an in-
crease on the year ending the 10th October, 1839,
compared with the year ending 10th October, 1838, of
1,713,9711.

Arrivals this morning—French mail, and one from
Ostend. Ship letters from Pernambuco. New York,
Sept. 19, by the Oxford, old date.

THE FUNDS.

The usual weekly meeting of the Bank Directors
took place yesterday, and, in consequence of the lateness
of the hour they broke up (past four o'clock), various re-
ports were in circulation ; at length it turned out that
the mountain was in labour with a mouse, no notice
appeared, nor did anything transpire in respect to their
discussions.

At a late hour yesterday afternoon it was stated
that some new modification of tha plan for placing the
affairs of the United States Bank on a secure basis
had been projected. Bonds were to be issued by the
United States Bank, redeemable in three or five years,
the State Bonds of Pennsylvania to be handed over as
a security.

The Report of the quarter's revenue has caused the
British Market to continue firm ; it is generally
looked upon to be favourable. Consols opened this

FRACAS AT THE PICCADILLY SALOON.---JohU
Christie, a young man of gentlemanly appearance and
manners, and dressed in the highest style of fashion,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, the sitting
Magistrate, charged with having created a disturbance
at two o'clock this morning at the " Royal Saloon,
Piccadilly, and violently assaulting Mr. John Ward,
by knocking one of his front teeth down his throat.
The complainant, whose face bore evident testirnonY
of a rough visitation of some sort or other, stated that
at the hour named this morning, he was standing at
his shop door (a cigar divan and billiard•room adjoin-
ing the Royal Saloon) when he heard some gentlemen
quarrelling in the street, and a hat was thrown into his
shop ; he picked it up, and was taking it to the door to
hand it to the owner, when the defendant, made a rush
at him from the street, and striking him with all,
his force on the mouth, knocked out his tooth, which
went down his throat ; his lips were also severely lace"
rated by the blow. A policeman who was standinc,
the
and saw the assault committed, collared and secured
defendant, after an effectual attempt at resistana• u
Mr. LONG (to the defendant)—What answer do you
make to this charge ?
Defendant—l have been grossly ill-used in that den
of gamblers. I was attacked, overpowered, and brutally
ill-used. I have two gentlemen here who were with
me at the time.

A Mr. Bell said, we were attacked and set upon by
the whole gang, waiters and all, and beaten severely.
Mr. LONG—But was Mr. Ward one of the parry
who assaulted you ?
Mr. Bell—l believe he did, but I will not take two*.
myself to swear to the fact.
Mr. LONG—I will put a stop to this ruffianly prac-
tice of assaultiag peaceable persons. I fine tile 4e-
fendant 40s.
The fine was instantly paid.

HATTON-GARDEN.-(THIS DAY•)

STABBING A POLICEMAN.—James Rippen, remanded
from this day week, on a charge of stabbing, was again
placed at the bar ; the complainant, who seemed very,
weak and faint from loss of blood, being sufficiently re-
covered to attend. He stated that his name was
John Bullock, and that he was a police constable, 116 G.
On Thursday night, the 3d instant, he was sent for to
the Cart and. Horses public-house, and the prisoner was
given into his charge by Mr. J. King. He told prisoner
ne must come to the station-house. The prisoner
walked very deliberately with witness to the street-,
door, and then turned reund and plunged as knife
into witness's cheek, at the same time placing his foot be-
tween witness's legs to try to trip him. Witness threw him
on the floor. Prisoner resisted violently. Assistance
came, and the prisoner was taken to the station-house,
and witness was taken to a surgeon's.
Several other witnesses were examined, who corro-
borated the testimony already given, and the prisoner,
was committed for trial.
