COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Air, Registrar Higgins.)
IN RE RAWLES-AWRWARD MISTAKES.
This bankrupt was . described as of Bolingbroke-row,
Camberwell-road, boot and shoe manufacturer, and this
was a meeting for the choice of assignees,
Mr. Hubert Wood, Coleman-street-buildings, was solici-
tor the petitioner. Tho debts are under £3OO, and there
would have been sufficient to pay 20s in the pound had the
property been sold under two executions by the sheriff,
who paid a distraint for rent, and handed the surplus, less
expenses to the messenger of the court who was in posses-
sion, as it was made clear that the debts on which the
executions were issued were due from the bankrupt's father.
The cases generally were very unimportant before the
Registrar.

IN RE PAUL, STRACHAN, AND SATES.

A meeting was appointed for a dividend under the joint
estate of these bankrupts, but the case was not on during
morning.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ARTFUL AND CRUEL FRAUD.—Joseph M'Cullah, a boy,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following
fraud:—

Mr. Davis, the Governor of the Boys' Refuge, Commer-
cial-street, Whitechapel (a valuable institution, and which
numbers among its committee the names of Samuel Gur-
ney, Esq., M.P., Sir F. Buxton, Bart., the Hon. A. Kin-
naird, M P &c ) attended to watch the case.
••, •

Mrs. Mary Burgin, a widow, and employed at the
University College, said the prisoner called on her last
Wednesday and told her her son who was in the Refuge
had gone raving mad, and, while in that state, had lost a
half-sovereign which the Committee of the Refuge had
given him to get changed. The prisoner said he had given
the boy all he had, 45., and that 6s. were wanting to make
up the money, or he would be turned out of the Refuge.
She said she would go herself, but the prisoner said that
that would not do, for before she got there her boy would
be discharged. She gave the prisoner 3d. to pay his omni-
bus back, and he left, but she found that he had gone to an
immediate neighbour and got 2s. in her name, stating that
she had sent him, but this was not true.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the poor woman said that if
she had had the 6s. she, believing the prisoner's story to be
true, would have given him the money.
A young woman named Lake, said the prisoner called
and said he was sent by Mrs. Burgin for 25., and, as she
believed the prisoner had been sent by that person she gave
him 2s.

A constable said he took the boy in Whitechapel, He
said he was sorry he had done it, and that he deserved all
he got, He had heard the prisoner had got money by
similar means at Woolwich.

Mr. Davis said the boy had robbed his own mother.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—The Right Rev. Dr. Henry

The Himalaya screw steam transport arrived in
Kingstown at 12 o'clock yesterday, having on board 21
officers and 744 men of the 44th Regiment, under the com-
mand of Lieut.-Col. Blenkinsop. She also brings 70 women
and 71 children. The Himalaya left Portsmouth on Thurs-
day, but was obliged by the storm to anchor that night off
the Needles, from which point she steamed to Kingstown in
53 hours.

It appears that the Union Bank of London have
entered into an arrangement with a view to place about
£4,500,000 of additional Portuguese bonds upon the Lon-
don market between this date and the end of next year.
The Union Bank will execute this service for a commis-
sion of 1 per cent., making no further charge of any kind.
The operation commences by their opening a credit for
£lOO,OOO, which they undertake to advance so soon
as they receive an amount of bonds equivalent in
market value with an additional margin of 8 per cent.
When the sale of the first £lOO,OOO shall have been com-
pleted, and the Bank are repaid their advance, with interest
at 1 per cent. above the current rate of the Bank of Eng-
land, a fresh credit of like amount is to be opened, and so on
until the close of the transaction. The issue of these bonds
is for the purposes of railway expenditure.
According to the financial accounts from New
York the reaction in the premium on Bold has been caused
by a report, very generally current, that Mr, Chase, the
Secretary of the Treasury, alarmed by the remonstrances of
the banks and the principal capitalists against his wild
schemes for an unlimited flood of paper, was about to make
different proposals. Some persons believed that instead of
an unrestricted issue of Government notes he would now
resort to the more honest course of raising money by the
creation of interest-bearing securities to be sold at their
market value. It was seen however by the parties in Con-
gress and elsewhere interested in keeping up the national
outlay, that the limits of this measure would be very nar-
row, and it is remarked by the New York Journal of Com-
merce that " the army of leeches fastened on the Treasury"
are all clamorous for the original plan. Meanwhile, from
the uncertainty thus occasioned, the money and exchange
markets were in utter confusion, and fluctuations of 3 or 4
per cent. in the value of bankers' bills are alleged to have
taken place in a single day. There is still much talk of re-
setting to taxation, but the majority of observers are be-
lieved to be perfectly convinced that the moment its practi-
cal operation begins to be felt all enthusiasm for the war
will be at an end. _

SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE KEN-
NINGTON TRAMWAY.—Yesterday Mr. C. St. Clair Bedford,
coroner for Westminster, received information of the death
of a youth named Shaw, arising from an accident, which
occurred under the subjoined shocking circumstances, in
the Westminster-road, near Astley's Theatre, on Saturday
last :—The poor lad followed the occupation of a shoeblack,
and his station was at the corner of the York-road, nearly
facing Astley's Theatre. On Saturday afternoon, at five
o'clock, he was crossing the road, when, from some unex-
plained cause, he came in contact with one of the Brixton
omnibuses, which was at the time running partially on the
tram rails laid down for the use of Mr. Train's cars. The
wheels of the vehicle passed over the unfortunate boy,the
hinder wheel nearly removing the uppermost portion of
the skull. On being picked up it was found that the shaft
wheel of the omnibus running on the metal lines of the
tramway had lacerated the poor boy's head in a most fright-
ful manner; in fact, he was literally covered with the blood
which gushed from his wound. lie was immediately taken
to Westminster Hospital, but, as maybe
supposed, his case
was considered hopeless from the first, and although every-
thing was done for him by the medical officers of the insti-
tution, he only sutvived until ten o'clock, never having re-
covered from the state of insensibility in which he was when
he was first picked up
