Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlborough-street, has this
day published " Mr. Burke's Peerage and Ba-
ronetage for 1840," with important additions, beau-
tifully printed on a new plan, in one large
volume, with an emblazoned title-page, and up-
wards of 1,.500 engravings, &c., price 38s. bound ;
containing all the new creations and much other new
matter, the result of great research, and of communica-
tions with the various noble families ; forming the most
complete, the most convenient, and the cheapest work
of the kind ever offered to the public. Agents for
Scotland, Messrs. Bell and Bradfute, Edinburgh ; for
Ireland, Mr. John Cumming, Dublin. To be had of
all booksellers throughout the kingdom.
BOTANY.—It is not generally known that Dr.
Lindley has published an Abridgment of his beautiful
work, called " LAdies' Botany," with wood engravings in-
stead of the coloured copper-plates of the original work.
This Abridgment, besides being the best introduction to
the study of Botany in existence, is, from the elegance of
its style and the interesting manner in which the subject is
treated, admirably adapted for reading lessons for young
persons in general, the price, bound in cloth, being only
125., containing fifty plates. Dr. Lindley's " Botanical
Register for 1839, containing seventy beautifully co-
loured portraits of new and beautiful plants, is also ready
for delivery, price 0/, 3s. bound in cloth. These works
may be had of every bookseller, both in town and coun-
try, and are well calculated for Christmas and New
Year's Presents.
Five hundred horrible deaths from cases of
Cancer have occurred in England during the present
year. Fifty-five persons have, however, been radically
cured of this fatal disease (many of whom were in a
most dreadful state) within the last twelvemonths, by
Holloway's Ointment and his External Disease Pill.
These two wonderful remedies must be used together,
and they will then be found an infallible cure for Cancer
or any other dangerous wound,—Ulcers, Bad Legs, and
Scrofulous, Sores, and Skin Disorders, and Gout and
Rheumatism. These medicines are to be had at any
respectable chemist and druggist's throughout the king-
dom. The Proprietor's Establishment is at 13, Broad-
street Buildings, where advice may be had gratis.

LAW INTELLIGENUE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. ii.
MAUND V. ALLIES.

The greater part of the day was occupied with the
arguments in this case, the question in which relates to
the partnership accounts of an extensive colliery in Mon-
mouthshire. The facts are of no interest except to the
parties concerned.

VICE-CRANCELLOR'S COURT, Dsc. 17.
ILLINGWORTH V. THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS
RAILWAY COMPANY.

The arguments in this motion, which have already
occupied the Court several days, were resumed and con-
cluded to-day.
His HONOUR said he should take time to consider his
judgment.

The Court did not rise until after four o'clock.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 17.
(Before Mr. Commissioner MERRIVALE.)
THE BANKRUPTCY OP ALFRED BUNN.
The Bankrupt appeared before the Court to pass his
final examination. But few creditors were present at
this sitting.
After proofs had been admitted from Messrs. Peake,
Eliason, Fitzball, and Dunn, &c. for services rendered,
Mr. Wryght, the accountant, handed in the balance-
sheet of the bankrupt, from which it appears that the
total losses during the time Mr. Bunn had the theatres
amounted to 23,052/. Is. sd.
The undermentioned statement shows the losses in-
curred throughout the theatrical management of the
bankrupt, as exhibited in his balance sheet

Total loss
There was no objection made to the bankrupt
passing.

Mr. LEWIS, as Solicitor to the fiat, said the ac-
counts reflected credit upon the bankrupt, and had
been entirely made up from the books of the theatre,
which had been uniformly and correctly kept. It was
hoped that from 2,0001. to 3,0001. would be recovered
for the benefit of the creditors.
Mr. Commissioner MErtaivALE—But I see that is
under the head of doubtful debts.

Mr. LEWIS--Yes, your Honour, because a lawsuit
must first be commenced.

The Official Assignee—lt appears that in his private
expenditure ne has not been extravagant.
Mr. Commissioner MERRIVALE—That is creditable
to him, and ought to be known, as is a public busi-
ness. The losses have been large in the theatrical
management. I see there is a rapid falling off in the
receipts in three seasons of Mr. Bunn's management,
from 57,0001. to 28,000/., more than half. I suppose
that occurred in consequence of the reduction of prices.
Mr. Mapleston—lt was the reduction of prices, and
the loss of public estimation for the last two seasons.
The Bankrupt, after being formally examined (he
had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act).
Mr. Commissioner MERRIVALE declared the bank-
rupt passed.

A curious fact occurred in the profits ; one of the
items is the sum of 401., enclosed in a parcel, and sent
to the bankrupt by an unknown hand. He has never
been able to trace the individual, thus generously in-
clined towards him.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

A young woman, named Ann Cronin, was yesterday
brought before Mr. Jardine for final examination, charged
with stealing a quantity of plate and other valuable pro-
perty, amounting to nearly 1001., from the house of Mrs.
Broughton her mistress.

Miss Mary Anne Broughton, daughter of the prose-
cutrix, residing at 2, Ely-place, Goodman's-fields, stated
that the prisoner entered her mother's service, on trial,
the 29th of November, and continued until the following
Wednesday, when she was sent away, in consequence of
her being found in the kitchen in a state of intoxication.
On the next day Constable Bagnall called to inform her
that the prisoner was in custody for being found drunk
in the streets with a quantity of plate and other property
in her possession, and it was then discovered, for the
first time, that a box containing plate, of which the pro-
perty produced formed a part, and which had been de-
posited in a bed room, had been broken open and nearly
every article in it taken away. The articles were safe
on Wednesday, the 3d inst., and the prisoner gave a
reference as to her character, but as the time was short
between her entering upon her service and being sent
away, there was no opportunity afforded of inquiring
into it.

William Trottman 47 F, stated that he met the pri-
soner in the street, and his attention was attracted by
a number of silver forks and spoons falling from her
while in a state of intoxication. He took her into cus-
tody. It was proved that she had pledged some of the
stolen property. _

The Magistrate fully committed the prisoner for trial,
to be again brought up in a week.

THE MURDER OF MR. HARVEY
COMBE'S GAMEKEEPER, AT COBHAM.

A man, named William Allen, alias Cobler Will,
was taken before the Rev. Arthur Onslow, at Guildford,
on Monday, charged with being concerned in the murder
of Thomas Chipps, a gamekeeper to H. Combe, Esq.,
at Cobham, in Surrey.
Mr. HUMPHREYS appeared on behalf of the prose-
cuiton ; and Mr. H. Combe was also present during
the inquiry.
The murder in question was committed nearly two
years ago. It will be remembered that the head-keeper
of Mr. Combe, upon going his rounds, accompanied
by the unfortunate deceased, was met by four men,
armed with guns, who attacked them, and beat them in
a most brutal manner with the butt-ends of their guns,
and the deceased received such injuries that he died a
day or two afterwards. The Coroner's Jury returned
a verdict of Wilful Murder against four men, named
Thomas Sakers, William Allen, William Bird, and
James White, all of whom absconded except the latter
who was taken into custody, and he then gave informa
tion of all the circumstances of the affray. Thomas
Sakers was afterwards taken, and tried at the Surrey
Summer Assizes in 1837. White was admitted evi-
dence for the Crown, and Sakers was convicted of man-
slaughter, and sentenced to be transported for life. Not-
withstanding that a large reward was offered for the
apprehension of the other men, and that the officers
took every pains to apprehend them, they all contrived
to elude pursuit until a few days ago, when Cooke,
the Superintendent of the Kingston police, having ascer-
tained that the prisoner was working as a labourer in the
lower part of the county, went thither and took him into
custody.

When the prisoner was placed at the bar,
Mr. HumrllaEYs said he was instructed on behalf of
Mr. Harvey Combe to prefer a charge against the
prisoner of having been concerned in the murder of
Thomas Chipps, one of that gentleman's keepers. He
then produced a certificate of the Grand Jury having
returned a true bill against William Allen.
James White, the accomplice, was sworn, and he
proved that the prisoner was the party to whom the
finding of the Jury referred.
Richard William Cooke, inspector of the Kingston
police, proved that he apprehended the prisoner, and
told him the offence he was charged with, and he made
no reply. The prisoner absconded from Kingston im-
mediately after the occurrence at Cobham.
The Rev. Mr. ONSLOW asked the prisoner whether
he wished to say anything in answer to the charge pre-
ferred against him ?

He replied that he had nothing to say.
He was then fully committed to Horsemonger-lane
Gaol, to take his trial for the murder, at the nest
Assizes.

The prisoner is a fine looking young man, about
twenty-five years of age. He is a native of Kingston,
and before this fatal transaction he bore a very Indif-
ferent character. It is due to him, however, to state
that it appears on inquiry, that since he has absconded
he had obtained constant employment, and bore a very
good character with his muster.

The Liberals of Youghal, on the whole registra-
tion of the present year, count a majority of 20.
In the county Cork registry, at the late Macroom
Sessions, the Liberals registered of old snd new i 9, the
Tories 36.
