Mr. Lucan supported her application, and Mr. Preston
opposed on behalf of Mesrs. Ingledew, upholsterers of
Bishopsgate-street, on they ground that the bankrupt had
fraudulently contracted the debt for which she had been sued

and she was a single woman, but she had p,)ssed by the
name of Hicks. I was engaged to him, bet he died. She
:she was entitled to £lOO a year, but the affairs were in
representing herself as a widow, and that
Chancery. She had goods of Ingltdew to the amount of
£l5O, but had paid oft £llO. The property had since been
sued for a year's rent, but they did not fetch £6O, and the
rent due was £65.

is four and a half or five years since I had the goods.

that the transaction did not take place with the wi • tness at
all, but with his brother.

Mr. Lucas submitted that there was no pretext for say-
ing there had been any fraudulent misrepresentation.
Hicks introduced the bankrupt as his wife, and as to the
rest, Mr. Ingledew appeared to speak from hearsay. At
all events, thetransac ion took place nearly five years ago,
and:the bankrupt had raid cff XllO.
His Honour said it: was not a case for refusal of release,
and the bankrupt was accordingly released.

MARK-LANE.

In the country markets, held on Saturday, the demand
for wheat was much less active, and, in some instances,
prices declined Is per quarter. Barley. however, ruled firm,
and the value of oats, beans, and peas was well supported.
Flour moved off slowly, at late rates. On the Continent
rather more business is passing in wheat and spring corn
at very full prices. At New York the trade continues dull
with a limited export inquiry. There was a fair arrival of
English grain ur, to our market last week. The imports
from abroad amounted to 15,233 quarters of wheat, 10 bar-
ley, 38,653 oats, 805 beans, 5 peas, 2,535 linsesd, 1,510 oil
seeds. 165 sundry seeds, 1,115 sacks and 4,011 barre!s of
flour.

Fresh up to Mark lane to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were very moderate, but the quality of the produce
was good. Owing to more favourable accounts from the
north of England and from Scotland respecting the in-
gathering of the crops, there was much less activity in the
demand for all qualities, and, in order to effect sales, fac-
tors were compelled to submit to a reduction of ls. per
quarter from Monday last.

There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. The demand for all descriptions was in a sluggish
state, yet no material change took place in prices, compared
with this day se'nnight. The tendency, however, was
decidedly in favour of buyers.
Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderato request,
on rather easier terms.

The supply of new English barley was very moderate,
Fine malting parcels were scarce, and such were quickly
disposed of at full prices. Inferior qualities, including
grinding and distilling sorts, were in fair average request,
at cull quotations. The show of foreign produce was small
A steady business was transacted in malt, at quite pre-
vious rates,

The supply of oats was tolerably large. Good and fine
corn ruled firm, at full quotations; but inferior qualities
were a dull inquiry, on rather easier terms.
Beans were in short supply and steady request, at full
currencies.

Peas fully supported last Monday's currency, with a fair
demand. Blue qualities, however, sold heavily at reduced

rates.

Both English and foreign flour moved off slowly, yel
prices were supported.

little is doing. Picking is now making considerable pro-
press, but the crop varies considerably. From America
we learn that the crop will not equal last year's, but there
will in all probability be a supply of good and fine bops suffi-
cient to meet tho export demand. The import into London

THE BONIBARDMENT OF CHARLESTON,

C:g.. -

PHILADELPHIA, August 30.
The following is the communication from Beau-
rega:d to• Genera! Gilmore, protesting against the
opening of the bombardment of Charleston
e‘ Head-quarters, Department of South Carolina

Georgia and Florida.
" Charleston. S.C.' August 22.
" Sir,—Last night at 15 minutes before Il o'clock,
during my absence on a reconnaissance of my forti-
fications, a communication was received at these
head-quarters, dated Hen d- quarters, Department of
the South, Morris Island, S.E., Aug. 21, demanding
the immediate evacuation of Morris Island and
Fort Sumter by the Confederate forces, on the
alleged ground that the present condition of Fort
Sumter, and the rapid progressive destruction which
it is undergoing from my batteries, seem to render
its complete demolition within a few hours a matter
of certainty,' and that if this letter was not corn-
pied with, or no reply thereto was received within
four hours after i was delivered into the hands of
my subordinate commander at Fort Wagner for
transmission, a fire would be opened on the city of
Charleston from the batteries already established
within easy range of the heart of the city. This
communication to my address was without signa-
ture, and was of course returned. About half-past
one o'clock one of your batteries did actually open fire
and threw a number of heavy shells into the city,
the inhabitants of which of course were asleep
and unwarned. About nine o'clock this morning
the communication alluded to was returned to these
headquarters, bearing your recognised official sig-
nature, and it can now be noticed as your deliberate
official act.

" Among nations not barbarous the usages of war
prescribe that when a city is about to bd attacked
timely notice shall be given by the attacking com-
mander, so that non-combatants shall have an
opportunity of withdrawing beyond its limits.
Generally the time allowed is from one to three days,
that is, time for the withdrawal in good faith of at
least the women and children. You, sir, gave only
four hours, knowing that your notice, under exist-
ing circumstances, could not reach me in less than
two hours, and not less than the same time would
be required for an answer to be conveyed from this
city to Battery Wagner. With this knowledge
you threaten to open fire on this city, not to oblige
its surrender, but to force me to evacuate those
works which you, assisted by a great naval force,
have been attacking in vain for more than 40 days.
" Batteries Wagner and Gregg and Fort Sumter
are nearly due north from your batteries on Morris
Island, and in distance therefrom varying from half
a mile to two and a quarter miles. This city, on
the other hand, is to the north west, and quite five
miles distant from the battery which opened against
it this morning. It would appear, sir, that des-
pairing of reducing these works, you now resort to
the novel measure of turning your guns against the
old men, the women, and children, and the hospi-
tals of a sleeping city—an act of inexcusable barba-
rity from your own confessed point of sight, inas-
much as you allege that the complete demolition of
Fort Sumter within a few hours by your guns
seems to you a matter of certainty.
" Your omission to attach your signature to such
a grave paper must show the recklessness of the
course upon which you have adventured; when
the facts that you knowingly fixed a limit for re-
ceiving an answer to your demand which made
it almost beyond the possibility of receiving any
reply within that time, and that you actually did
open fire, and throw a number of the most de-
structive missiles ever used in war into the midst
of a city taken unawares, and filled with sleeping
women and children, will give you a bad eminence
in history, even in the history of this war. lam
only surprised, sir, at the limits you have set to
your demands. If, in order to obtain the aban-
donment of Morris Island and Fort Sumter, you
feel authorised to fire on this city, why did you
not include the works on Sullivan and James
Islands—nay, even the city of Charleston—in the
same demand ?

"Since you have felt warranted in inaugurating
this method of reducing batteries in your imme-
diate .front which were otherwise found impreg-
nable, and a mode of warfare which I confidently
declare to be atrocious and unworthy of any sol-
dier, I now solemnly warn you that if you fire
again on this city from your Morris Island bat-.
teries without giving a somewhat more reasonable
time to remove the non-combatants, I shall feel
impelled to employ such stringent means of retalia-
tion as may be available during the continuance of
this attack.

"Finally, I reply that neither the works on Mor-
ris Island nor
,Fort Sumter will be evacuated on
the demand you have been pleased to make.
Already, however, I am taking measures to re-
move all non-combatants, who are now fully
aware and alive to what they may expect at your
hands.—Respectfully, your obedient servant,

" G. T. B EAUIt EC ARD, General Commanding."

A NOBLE IRISH LANDLORD.

On Thursday last, in the hamlet of Sneem, county
Kerry (says a weekly contemporary), on the north
side of the mouth of Kenmare Bay, amid scenery
of surpassing grandeur, the Earl of Dunraven laid
the foundation-stone of a new Catholic church, the
site of which was presented, rent free, to the
parishioners, by the liberal Protestant landlord,
Mr. Bland. Lord Dunraven purchased the site for
a fishing lodge there, some few years since, and the
following incidents in his lordship's addresa, on the
occasion of the ceremony last week, are highly cre-
ditable both to himself, as a pious and devoted
Catholic, and also to the liberal Protestant land-
lord. The Cork Examiner reports his lordship to
have said

" I well remember the day when I first came here
to Mass. Immediately that I saw the place in which
the Holy Sacrifice was performed, I said to myself,
' How strange it is that I should go build for my-
self a residence, and surround myself with every
comfort and ornament which it is in the power of a
gentleman to procure, while the church of the
parish—the house in which the mysteries of God's
Church are celebrated—is left desolateand in ruin.'
From that moment I determined, if it pleased God
to spare me my life, that I would contribute, as far
as lay in my power, to the building of an edifice in
which the people of the parish would be able to
worship God without being exposed to the incle-
mency of the weather, and in which the Holy Sacri-
fice could properly and with duo solemnity be per-
formed. I have been able to do that. I have seen
the work happily inaugurated to-day, and I assure
you that it affords me the most sincere gratification.
Amongst the many things which I have to rejoice at
to-day, there is one which gives me the most pro-
found satisfaction, and 1 shall not lose this oppor-
tunity of mentioning it. I mean the noble conduct
of ycur landlord, Mr. Bland, in giving us the ground
for the church. When I asked him if he would give
a lease for ever of the old site, as we were going to
build a new church, his reply was—'Certainly, I
will.' I then said—' Will you give us somesmore
of the ground surrounding the building, as we wish
to plant it and make it ornamental ?' Ho again
readily responded that he would, and said, ' Come
down and point out what you want. This is a mat-
ter which I will leave entirely to yourself.' I came
down with him; we went over the place, and then
he went away leaving me to mark out as much land
as I might consider necessary. I leave you,' he
said, 'to fix the boundaries yourself; take as much
as ever you want.' When next I met him I asked
him about the rent—what rent ho would require.
What ?' said he, do you suppose that I am going
to take a rent for this land ? No ; whatever ex-
tent you w ant, it must be a free gift from me to the
parish.' I only wish every landlord in Ireland would
take an example of liberality from Mr. Bland. I can
assure you that, poor as this parish is, there are
many parishes in. Ireland which would be glad to
exchange landlords, for it is net everywhere you
meet with the like of him. I have known Mr. Bland
for many years, and I am happy to say that my
relations with him have always been those of the
warmest fliendship ; and so they will always be,
because I believe him to that which it is by no
means a common thing to meet with in these days
—a just, honourable, and liberal-hearted man."
