LAW INTELLIGE gCE—June 3.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd)
Dr RE ELSH, STEWARD, AND BAILLIE.-A SCENE AT THE

COURT.-GREAT HARDSHIP ON WORKING MEN.
These bankrupts were described as iron shipbuilders of
Poplar, and to-day they mine up to pass their last exami-
nation, and for the order of discharge. The debts aro
stated to be between £BO,OOO and £lOO,OOO, and the
assets but limited. There was quite a scone at
the court this morning consequent upon the attendance
of about one hundred workmen employed by the firm who
have been obliged to attend the court to prove debts, due
for wages, ranging from 12s. 6d. to £2 14s. The avenues
of the court and the street in Basinghall-street, was
thronged by the poor fellows, who have been compelled
by the rules of the court to lose a day's work in order to
attend here and enforce their several claims. A very littlo
consideration would have spared all this, as the clerk to
the assignees might have communicated with them and
made proper:arrangements for their protection.
Mr. Bagley (for a widow lady) applied that a portion of
a premium paid to the bankrupt upon the apprenticeship
of the lady's son to the bankrupt might bo returned. The
sum paid was nearly £3OO.
_ _ _

Mr: Hilleary (for the assignees) said this was a very seri-
ous case for the creditors, and it was doubtful whether
there would be more than a trifle for the creditors. There
was £BOO in hand, but out of this £2OO would be required
for wages to workmen, and thensoMe of the clerks nanted
salaries. Perhaps.tha t:pprontice's mother would accept
zloo.

His Honour ordered that £l5O should be returned, sub-
ject to the usual conditions. His Honour then directed
another adjournment.

After the order, a creditor made a complaint against tho
delay in this matter, and the workmen, who are creditors,
were by no means satisfied with the position of affairs.

The Paris correspondent of the Journal de
Geneve writing on the 28th says :—" As Prince Napoleon
was going up the stairs of the Tuileries to see the Empress,
M. Rouher came down. The Prince could not refrain from
stopping to complain, with a certain amount of warmth, of
the reception accorded by the Ministerto his speech, which
had only reproduced, he said, the policy of ' Napoleon the
Great." Monseigneur,' replied M. Rouher, ' if Napoleon
the Great were still living, instead of being at the Tui-
leries you would bo at Vincennes."'
London, England, 1865-06-03

CHATHAM.

Mr. A. J. Otway, who has been brought for ward
by the Liberals to contest this borough against Gen.
Sir J. M. Fred. Smith, the Bitting member, has cora-
menced an active canvass, and during the week has
addressed several meetings of his supporters. He
declares himself a warm supporter of the present
Administration and of the financial policy of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. He is also in favour of
the total abolition of Church-rates, a large measure
of reform and vote by ballot, and an extended sys-
tem of national education. At all the meetings he
has addressed resolutions approving his principles
and pledging the voters to support him at the ensu-
ing election have been unanimously adopted. Mr.
Otway's views are believed to be in harmony with
those of the large majority of the electors, and from
the highly favourable result of his canvass his com-
mittee speak with the utmost confidence of his being
returned. Gen. Sir J. M. F. Smith has also addressed
a meeting of the Conservative electors, at which he
announced himself as again willing to contest the
borough, if it was so desired. At the same time he
intimated his willingness to give way to a younger
man or any other candidate the party might prefer
in his place. It cannot be denied that Gen. Sir J. M.
Frederic Smith's recent speeches and votes in the
House of Commons have given great dissatisfaction
to his constituents, and especially his memorable
speech in Parliament in which he denounced the
work done in Chatham dockyard as inferior to that
in private shipbuilding yards. This, together with
the course he has pursued since he has been in Par-
liament, has alienated several of his best friends, and
his defeat at the ensuing election is looked upon as
certain.
London, England, 1865-06-03

NORTH RIDING.

The agents of Mr. Milbank have already com-
menced canvassing the electors, and, it is averred,
are daily receiving new promises of support. The
Liberal party are working hard to reverse the defeat
sustained at the last election. The Hon. W. E.
Duncombe, in addition to the circulation of his ad-
dress, has also addressed a short MS. letter to each
elector, drawing attention to his address, and asking
for continued support. Mr. Morritt has done no-
thing more than issue his address, and as the Cayley
party have: made no sign, the struggle seems likely
to be between the two Conservative sitting members
and Mr. Milbank.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—THrs EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

ROYAL COMMISSION.

The royal assent was given by commission to the fol-
lowing bills:—Consolidated Fund (£15,000,000), Perth
Provisional Order Confirmation and Affirmation (Scotland),
Election Petition Act, 1848 (Amendment), Drainage and.
Improvement of Lands (Ireland), Provisional Orders Con-
firmation, the Marine Mutiny, the Mutiny, the Bank of
Ireland, Colonial Naval Defence, East India High Courts ;
Coke Valley and Halstead Railway ; Glasgow City and
Suburban Gas; and Whitechapel and Holborn Improve-
ment.

The Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, Lord
Monteagle, and Earl St. Germans.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Shrewsbury and North Wales Railway Bill, the
Hastings and St. Leonards Gas Bill, the Oswestry Local
Board Bill, and the Ross Improvement Bill were severally
read a second time. The Ayr Water Bill and the Carmar-
thenshire Railway Bill were read a third time and passed.

NON-PRODUCTION OF RETURNS.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that he had
moved for certain returns which he considered of im-
portance, but they had not been made, which he consi-
dered was treating this house with great disrespect. When
returns were moved for in the other house they were
punctually supplied, and he thought the question should
be taken up by Government.
THE CURRAGH OF KILDARE.
Tho Marquis of CLANRICARDE asked whether it was
the intention of her Majesty's Government to transfer, by
lease or otherwise, the care and management of the Cur-
ragh of Kildare from the office of the Woods and Forests
to the War Department, and to abolish the office of ranger
of the Curragh. He said that very strong national feeling
prevailed in Ireland in regard to the Curragh, and though
they might not be very logical, still he thought they were
entitled to be considered.

Earl DE GREY said that there was an anomaly in the
present state of the management of the Curragh, and the
proposed transfer was in accordance with the wishes of the
Commissioners of Woods and Forests. It was not intended
to abolish the office of ranger during the, tenure of office of
the present official.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.
Earl GRANVILLE moved that the house, at its rising,
should adjourn until the 27th inst., which was agreed to.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tms EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Exeter Gas (No. 1) ; General Terminus and Glas-
gow Harbour and Caledonian Railway Companies ;
Glasgow and South Western Railway (Kilmarnock
Direct) ; Glasgow (City) Union Railway ; Glossop Water;
Llanelly Local Board of Health ; Luddenden Valley Rail-
way ; Neath Water ; North London Railway ; Runcorn,
Weston, and Halton Water; and Sunningdale and Cam-
bridge Town Railway.
METROPOLITAN SEWAGE AND RECLAMATION
London, England, 1865-04-07

THE PLAGUE IN RUSSIA.

Sir J. PAKINGT ON asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department whether the attention of her Ma-
jesty's Government had been directed to the disease now
prevailing in Russia and some parts of Prussia ; and
whether the Government proposed to take any steps to
ascertain the true nature of the disease, and avert its in-
troduction into this country ?
Sir G. GREY said the attention of the Government had
been called to the subject, and instructions had been sent
to her Majesty's ambassador at St. Petersburg, to inquire
and report into the nature, origin, and mode of treatment
of the disease that had appeared there. Instructions had
also been sent out to her Majesty's ambassadors at
Berlin and Vienna to make inquiry, anddirections
had also been forwarded to her Majesty's consuls in
the Baltic to send the earliest information to the Govern-
ment of the appearance of the disease at any of the ports.
It was the intention of the Government to send a medical
officer to St. Petersburg to report upon the disease, and a
notice had been forwarded to the customs to be particular in
examining ships coming from that part of the world. He
had received information by telegraph from Russia that the
disease was a fever hitherto unknown in Russia, and that
the deaths had been upwards of 80 in a day, but that it
was, happily, diminishing. He had received information
from Berlin by telegraph that an unknown disease had
appeared there, but it was not known for certain that it
came from Russia. He had also received a telegram from
Dantzic stating that the disease was one that affected tha
brain, and mostly attacked children. From Warsaw he
had received intelligence that no epidemic was raging there;
and also the same intelligence from Sonigsburg and Memel.
A telegram, dated to-day from Stettin, which he had re-
ceived but an hour ago, stated that no disease had appeared
there up to the present time. The most active steps had been
taken to obtain the earliest information by telegraph of
the appearance of disease.

The Plague in Russia,

A communication, dated April 5, received from
her Majesty's ambassador at St. Petersburg, says :
—" The fever is contagious, and is called in French
hevre a rechute, in German das recurrirende fieber,
and ' the relapsing or famine fever' in English. It
is also styled ' remittent fever, or typhus recur-
rens,' or 6 bilious typhoid fever,' or synocha,' or
milia.ry fever,' or typhinia.' It was unknown in
Russia, until eight months ago, when Professor
Botkin called attention to it as a fever he had never
seen, though foreign physicians had described it.
There is much ordinary typhus in St. Petersburg.
The official journal states that the typhus and the
typhoid fever and the febris recurrens' prevailing
in St. Petersburg
Napierreports h
from Berlin, April 5, that anave now slightly diminished."
unknown disorder has appeared along the valley of
the Vistula, and especially at Elbing. The Prussian
Government is not aware that it came from St.
Petersburg.

The Medical Gazette of St. Petersburg says the
epidemic is called " revena,nte." It was during last
autumn that the disease broke out siinultaneously
in the north-east and south-west of the Russian
empire. M. Gworling, the government doctor at
Penn, announced that he had seen 40 cases of this
disease, which commences with cold and shivering,
followed by great heat without perspiration, 'ac-
companied by colic, headache, delirium, [general
debility, and sometimes with a flow of blood:from
the nose. The disease lasts from five to six days,
after which the invalid recovers his appetite, fails
into a sound sleep, and the fever, quits him. The
fever returns after a short interval, but again ceases,
and the doctor has observed this to have happened
three or four times. Quinine taken in large doses
cures the fever, and removes delirium, but does not
produce decisive effects, nor is sufficient to arrest
the progress of the disease. The doctor adds that he

has.seen more than 300 persons• attacked with the
disease in the course of the years 1857 and 1858 in
America, where it raged with such violence that it
was mistaken for the yellow fever.

PRESENTATION TO A SAILOR.—At a meeting of
the Liverpool Local Marine poard yesterday a silver medal
was presented• on behalf of the Danish Government to
Daniel James, second officer of the ship Thornhill, as an
acknowledgment of his able services in rescuing tho crew of
the Danish schooner Anne Elizabeth in October last, when
that vessel was waterlogged and sinking. The captain of
the Thornhill recently received a gold medal for the same
rescue.

Railway Communication between Woolwich
and. Greenwich.

Last night a crowded and initaentia 1 public meet-
ing of the inhabitants of Woolwich, Charlton, and
Plumstead was held at the Town-hal4 Woolwich, to
adopt measures for promoting the bill now before
Parliament for the construction of a branch line of
railway from Greenwich to. Woolwich, passing
through Greenwich-park by mums of a tunnel.
The chair was occupied by Mr. Jackson, chairman
of the Woolwich Local Board of Health ; and on
the platform were Mr. W. Angerstein, M.P., and
numerous influential residents of the district.
Mr. BASSETT moved, and Mr. TUFFIELD seconded,
a resolution setting forth the absolute necessity
which existed for direct railway communication be-
tween Woolwich, Greenwich, and Deptford ; and
it was stated that, although the Astronomer Royal
(Professor Airey) had on two occasions reported
to the Admiralty that such railway might at a
certain distance from the observatory, and under
certain conditions, pass through Greenwich-park
without detriment to the scientific opera-
tions, the professor had now expressed his
fears that the fact of railway trains passing so near
the observatory might induce the belief that the
vibration arising therefrom would injuriously affect
the observations made.

Mr. ANGERSTEIN, M.P., replied to the objections
made against the passing of the railway through the
park, and said that experiments made by the most
eminent scientific men of the age fully proved that
the vibration of railway trains passing under a
covered way at a slow rate of speed would not cause
the evils apprehended. Professor Airey was possessed
of high scientific acquirements, and was, no doubt,
the right man in the right place ; but after giving
up his opposition to such a railway, and confessing
that it might be so laid down and worked as not to
interfere with the operations at the observatory,
it was singular that he should now raise an ob-
stacle of such a fanciful nature. He believed it
rested with the inhabitants of that district whether
they had this railway or not. If they were unani-
mous upon the subject he had no doubt that Parlia-
ment would pass the bill.
The CHAIRMAN read a letter from Alderman
Salomons, M.P., regretting his absence, and strongly
supporting the proposed railway, which he consi-
dered had already been too long delayed.
Addresses were delivered by Mr. Carttar, coroner
for West Kent, and other gentlemen, and resolu-
tions were adopted in accordance with the objects
of the meeting, which separated after a vote of
thanks to the chairman.

Mr. Cobden's Funeral.

The remains of Mr. Cobden were buried to-day
at West Lavington, Sussex, by the side of his only
son. The cortge started at 12 o'clock, special
arrangements having been made for the accommoda-
tion of mourners and others from a distance. A
special train left London this morning, conveying a
large number of the members of the two Houses of
Parliament and the admirers of the deceased states-
man. In Manchester, where Mr. Cobden had
many personal friends, the usual demonstrations of
respect were paid to his memory, and that, as in
the case of the late Prince Consort, these signs of
regret extended not only to warehouses and shops,
but to private houses. We understand that the
shops in Market-street were closed (though busi-
ness was not entirely suspended) from ten to two
o'clock, and that many of the leading firms closed
their places of business after Exchange hours—
two o'clock.

COLONIAL.
T'nA•—A rather large speculative business has been done,
and prices have shown some slight variations.
SUGAR.—The market has shown symptoms of buoyancy,
a good business having been transacted in West India at
full rates. In the refined market, also, a firmer tone
prevails.

COFFEE.—Thero has been a moderate quantity offered at
public auction, and superior qualities of colonial have fully
supported preVious rates. Other descriptions have been
without material change.
RICE.—The dealings have been to a fair extent, at
steady rates.
TALLow.---The market has continued very dull, with a
further slight depression in quotations for both present
and forward delivery.
GREEN PRurr.—Mild weather has increased the demand.
Some parcels of oranges from St. Michael, Valencia, and
Palermo, sold by Reeling and Hunt at public sale, went at
an advance of Is. to 2s. per package. Lemons improved
in character. Nuts are in fair request, owing to the ap-
proach of the Easter holidays.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

Yesterday morning Col. Mundy, Acting-Com-
mandant of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich, at-
tended by Col. Payne, Royal Marines, Cols. Wode-
house, C. 8., Maberly, and Middleton, C. 8., Royal
Artillery, Brigade-Major Hay, and other officers,
visted the gymnasium of the garrison, and inspected
the classes of the non-commissioned officers and men
of the Royal Artillery and Royal Marines who have
completed a course of training in gymnastic exer-
cises. Capt. Clark, the superintendent, put the
classes through various exercises, the vaulting and
escalading being remarkably good. The sword exer-
cise of the non-commissioned officers was considered
most efficient. The commandant expressed himself
much pleased with the result of his inspection.
Twenty officers and 50 non-commissioned officers
who were selected from the brigades of Royal Artil-
lery in the various stations at home and abroad, and
who have completed a lengthened course of practical
study extending over the past 18 months at Shoe-
buryness, returned to Woolwich on Monday, and
yesterday commenced a course of exercise and study
in the manufacturing departments of the Royal Ar-
senal. Each officer has passed the necessary exami-
nation rendering him competent to undertake the
post of instructor in gunnery.
Commodore Hugh Dunlop, C. 8., Superintendent
of Woolwich Dockyard, yesterday, accompanied by.
Mr. Ponsonby, R.N., hisprivate secretary, and Com-
mander Towsey, inspected the whole of the ships in
commission at Woolwich and mustered the crews,
according to a new regulation to be carried out on
the first Thursday in each month.

Her Majesty's 17-gun steam screw sloop Mutine,
thoroughly refitted at Woolwich, is ready for the
pennant, and has the whole of her stores on board.
Her destination is the Pacific. It is expected that
her commission will be announced to-day.
The following appointments have been made at
the Admiralty :—Lieut. P. C. Johnstone to the Mu-
tine ; Lieut. J. F. G. Grant to the Impregnable ;
Edward B. D'Arcy, master, to the Mutine ; Sub-
Lieut. R. C. Townshend to the Mutine ; Sub-Lieuts.

VEGETABLE COOKRRY.—Pastry, Pickling,
&c.

This volume supplies a want long felt. Cookery books
exist in' abundance, but they relate abp.ost exclusively to the
preparation of dishes from animal food: t his work is devoted
entirely to the proper cooking of vegetable?, to preserving,
pickling, the preparation of sauces, soups, beverages, &c., &c.,
and forms a complete treatise upon the subject. Vegetables,
fruits, &c., constitute th,- halt of our daily food : here is an
essay upon the best possible preparation of this half.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
A small supply of English wheat was received fresh up
to our market to-day in fair condition. For all qualities
the trade was dull, and prices were about ls. per quarter
ower than on Friday last. A total clearance was not
effected.

The market was but moderately supplied with foreign
*wheat, Millers operated to a limited extent in all deserip-
tions, yet very little change took place in the quotations.
Floating cargoes of wheat were in slow request, and
prices were rather drooping. Spring corn, afloat, was
steady in value.
There was a fair supply of barley on the stands. Good
and fine malting qualities, which were scarce, changed
hands at fully late rates. Otherwise the barley trade was
dull on former terms.
Most descriptions of oats were in moderate supply. On
the Whole, the trade was steady at full prices.
The market was scantily supplied with beans and peas,
the trade for which was firm, at full currencies.

COLONIAL.
TEA.—A rather largo speculative business has been done,
and prices have shown some slight variations.
SUGAR.—The market has shown symptoms of buoyancy,
a good business having been transacted in West India at
full rates. In the refined market, also, a firmer tone
prevails.
COFFEE.—There has been a moderate quantity offered at
public auction, and superior qualities of colonial have fully
supported previous rates. Other descriptions have been
without material change.
RICE.—The dealings have been to a fair extent, at
steady rates.
TALLOW.—The market has continued very dull, with a
further slight depression in quotations for both present
and forward delivery.
GREEN Pau T.—Mild weather has increased the demand.
Some parcels of oranges from St. Michael, Valencia, and
Palermo, sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, went at
an advance of ls. to 2s. per package. Lemons improved
in character. Nuts are in fair request, owing to the ap-
proach of the Easter holidays.

GREAT WESTERN OF CANADA.

The report states that the aggregate expenditure
on capital amounted to £5,092,186, leaving a bal-
ance of £53,490. The outlay on capital account
during the half-year consisted of new sidings,
&c., at stations, fish jointing rails, difference
of expense in rebuilding in stone and iron four
wooden bridges between Hamilton and London, ex-
tension of line in the city of Toronto, and other
works, amounting to £18,182. The revenue account
for the past half-year showed that the gross receipts
amounted to £312,730, the working expenses, in-
cluding rent of suspension-bridge, to £137,437, and
the balance to £175,292. From this was deducted,
£47,498 interest on Government loan, £33,359 in-
terest on company's bonds, £74,502 loss on conver-
sion of American currency, and £31,140 on re-
newal of rails, sleepers, and bridges, making
£ls6,soo—leaving a balance of £18,792. To this
was added £8,415, over-estimated loss on American
currency, and £10,961 surplus from the preceding
half-year, making a surplus of £38,169 ; from which
the directors recommended a :dividend at the rate of
2 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £4,571.
The reduction of the available balance by the con-
version of American funds into gold amounted for
the past half-year to £74,502. The working ex-
penses of the last half-year were 43.95 per cent. of
the receipts. Friendly relations with all the AMe-
rican lines had been maintained, and the best feel-
ing continued to exist ; but, owing to border diffi-
culties, the United States Government instituted a
passport system at the close of last year which, ,to
a great extent, put a stop to the through passenger
traffic between the eastern and western States of
America via Canada. It had also lessened consi-
derably the local passenger business between Canada
and the States. But by proclamation from the
State department at Washington, dated March Bth,

THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.—Yesterday, in con-
sequence of the favourable change in the weather, a
large number of additional workmen were employed, and
set to work principally upon the portion that is being filled
in, and which is carried on with great rapidity. The brick
work within many of the caissons in No. 1 contract has
attained a height above the level of low water spring tides
and in the others the immense foundations are laid in with
compost and other materials capable of resisting moisture.
In the other departments connected with the works in this
section the greatest activity prevails, and very rapid pro-
gress has been made during the past week. In the works in
Mr. Ritson's (No. 2) contract, extending from tho east side
of Waterloo-bridge to Blackfriars, the coffer dams for half
the distance aro completed, and in some parts the brick
work and masonry is above the low water level, and the
filling in both with dry rubbish and earth fro a) the rail-
ways in course of construction, and gravel from the bed of

the river, is being carried on with unprecedented rapidity.
A handsome steamboat pier atWaterloo-bridge and another
on the west side of Blackfriars-bridge will be constructed as
soon as the works of the embankment are sufficiently ad-
vanced.

Tumours, Cancers, and Bad Breasts.—lf any departure from
health require earlier attention than another to prevent dis-
astrous consequences, it is the class of diseases now. under re-
view. To save hazard and future pain, the budding tumour
must have early attention or days of discomfort and nights
of disquietude will be the sufferers portion. Whenever the
ailment first appears, after fomenting the spot with warm
water, Holloway's ointment must be energetically rubbed
on part till a considerable quantity is absorbed. The pills,
too, must be commenced with early. If these remedies bo
diligently persevered in, the simple tumour or the full can-
cers are arrested. In cases of bad breasts, 'with or ivitl4out
milk fever, relief is almost instantaneous.

BRISTOL--THURSDAY.

At our market to-day English wheat was in moderate
supply, and sold slowly at last week's prices. For foreign
scarcely any inquiry. Malting biirley fully as dear, but the
demand is by no means extensive. Grinding, from scarcity,
commanded an advance of 6d per qr. Supplies of oats con-
tinue short, the trade to-day was far from active, and last
week's prices could not be exceeded. Maize in limited re'
quest, and the turn dearer.
