LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTOY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

IN RE THE HON. RICHARD BETHELL-THE LORD CHANCEL-

LOB'S SON APPLYING FOR HIS RELEASE,

This morning an application was made by Mr. Chidley,
on behalf of the petitioning creditor, Mr. Yates, money lender,
of Harley-street, that the Hon. Richard Bethell, now in
custody of the Sheriff of Berkshire, at Reading Gaol, should
be released under an order of this Court, an adjudication
in bankruptcy having been made here on Tuesday. The
case was in the list of Mr. Registrar Winslow, but Mr.
Commissioner Goulburn, after some communication with
that gentleman, announced that he would hear the appli-
cation himself. _ _ _

Upon the Commissioner taking his soat, ho said—l have
been requested by tho Lord Chancellor to take this case,
although it was originally balloted to Mr. Registrar Win-
slow, the acting commissioner; but as the official assignee
in Mr. Winslow's court is a relation of the applicant, it was
felt it would be painful in the extreme to take the matter

Mr. Chidley—l quite agree in what has fallen from your
honour, and, as there will be no opposition in the matter,
the course to be pursued will be easy.
His Honour—Before I proceed in the matter I must re-
quest that my registrar attend, so that we may be in form.
Mr. Hazlitt came into the room, and his honour, putting
the forms upon which the application was made into his
hand, inquired what notice was usual in these cases.
Mr. Hazlitt—l believe that the usual notice is two clear
days.
His Honour—When was the notice given in this case ?
Mr. Chidler—On Monday, and here the creditor lives in
London, and the attorney also.
His Honour—Mr. Registrar Winslow made an order of
great importance in these cases, and ho has laid down a
rule that I shall follow. I wish to be informed by him
whether the notice is to be governed by the residence of
the debtor or of the creditor.

Mr. Registrar Winslow (who was sent for by his Honour)
—The rule I have laid down is that notice is to be governed
by the residence of the creditor.
His Honour—And not by that of the debtor ?
Mr. Registrar Winslow—When the creditor lives in
London the time for giving the notice is two clear days.

His Honour—l see that in this case the notice was given
on Monday, so that would be two clear days. Does any
one oppose the order ?
Mr. Chidley—No one.
His Honour—Then the order is granted.
It appears that Mr. Perique, official assignee, in Mr.
Registrar Winslow's court, is brother-in-law to the Ron. R.
Bothell, and this was the relationship alluded to by his
Honour. It is also stated that the arrest of the bankrupt
upon Ascot race-course is a pure invention, but until the
first meeting for choice of assignees no reliable statements
can be furnished. The debts are believed to be heavy, but
in the absence of accounts no amount has been yet put on
the file.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

WESTMINSTER

WHAT IS A FELONY ?—James Connor, a low-looking
fellow, was charged with stealing a hat, value 55., from
the person of Robert Gillaspi.
Robert Gillaspi said that last Tuesday week there had
been a disturbance in George-street, Chelsea, where he
kept a wardrobe-shop. At about 10 o'clock at night he
left his home in company with his wife, and was imme-
diately set upon by a mob of costermongers, who pelted
them with stones. His wife and himself were repeatedly
struck and wounded by the stones, and his hat was knocked
off several times. They proceeded towards Pimlico-station,
and the prisoner came up and knocked his hat off, and
kicked it along the ground. He did not see it picked up,
but had not seen it since. He gave no provocation.
Elizabeth Gillaspi, wife of the prosecutor, proved that
when the hat was knocked off the prisoner picked it up
and ran off with it, pursued by her husband, who, how-
ever, failed to catch him. He got away with it.
Sergeant Andrew; 30 B, said that there was great feel-
ing against these parties. Mrs. Gillaspi had spoiled some
strawberries belonging to a costermongcr in the court, and
had been ordered to pay 20s. by the magistrate on Wednes-
day. A case of abuse against Mrs. Gillaspi had also been
heard but dismissed. There had been great disturbances
in the place for some time.
Mr. Arnold asked prisoner where the hat was.
Prisoner said he knew nothing of it, but made a state-
ment to the effect that the disturbance was caused by pro-
secutor and his wife, and that the hat was off several times.
Mr. Arnold said this ought not to have been treated as a
felony. They should either have proceeded against pri-
soner for assault, or gone to the County Court. He should
discharge the prisoner.
Prisoner was' then discharged, some surprise being
expressed at the decision from the body of the court.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

THIRD EDITAON.

SUN OFFICE, 7 OCLocK.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

HAMPTON RACES-THIS DAY.

The first day, at Hampton, as regards sport, is usnall
the best, and to racing men by far the more enjoyable ; bu
the public, who help to find the " ways and means," have
invested the "Queen's Guineas" with the character that
attaches to the Derby, at Epsom, and the Gold Cup, at
Ascot, and have accordingly dubbed Thursday the " Grand
day." It is due to them to state that they did full honour
to the occasion to-day ; such a throng, we venture to say,
has never been seen on Moulsey Hurst. Trains, filled to
an extent beyond their regulated capacity, were started at
frequent intervals from Waterloo and the numerous other
stations on the South-Western, which, but for the perfect
arrangements of the company, and the care of the officers,
it would have been scarcely safe to despatch.
However, every train, from a very early hour in
morning, contained a company all evidently bent upon one
object, and that was enjoyment. Jones had to struggle a
little to get a comfortable seat for his better half, and
Brown had to do the same for his daughter Jemima, but
White the milkman, and noggins the greengrocer, were
polite and considerate, and all went off as merry as a wed-
ding party. The road was also thronged, and great num-
bers adopted the cooler and more agreeable, if not the
quickest, route of water. Much confusion, of course,
prevailed, and contretemps were frequent, but good-
humour prevailed, and in the long run angry words
in a few moments gave way to jovial laughter, and the
amende honorable was, "All right, old fellow." The fun
and frolic going on in the centre of the course at the back
of the drags and carriages, of which there was an immense
number, was something perfectly marvellous. Donkeys
were in great demand, and a very great number of
those who ventured to ride, and who no doubt never
crossed a saddle before, speedily found themselves
on the green sward again, but in no case did the
venturous equestrian consider himself to blame ; the fault
invariably was with the poor, patient donkey, who was
libelled as a jibber, a bolter, or a kicker. The proprietors
of the knock-'em-downs seemed to hare a prosperous
trade ; and not the least amusing sight on Moulsey Hurst
was the soothing way in which the dark-skinned, black-
eyed gipsy women succeeded in reconciling their metropo-
litan customers to their ill success. One adventurous hero
whom we saw seemed determined to emulate the renowned
"Mr. Briggs"—he actually succeeded in winnig a small
cocoa-nut after about 30 attempts. However, he appeared to
enjoy his nut despite the cost at which.it had been secured.
We should imagine the present will turn out to be the most
successful " Grand Day" at Hampton, and, notwithstanding
the want of punctuality, and two or three other hitches in
the arrangements, it seems destined to end in a successful
result.

Palestine Exploration Fund.

----11,-

MEETING THIS DAY.

A large and influential meeting of those interested in the
exploration of Palestine was held this afternoon at Willis's
Rooms, King-street, St. James's. The Archbishop of
York presided.
Amongst those present were the Bishop of London, Sir
Roderick Murchison, A. H. Layard, Esq., M.P., Professor
Owen, Professor Stanley, the Dean of Canterbury, Mr.
Hanbury, M.P., Mr. J. A. Smith, M.P., Archdeacon Stan-
ley, Bishop of Moray and Ross, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe,
Count do Vogel, Goorgo Grove, Esq., &c.
The CHAIRMAN, in a brief address, alluded to the little
that was at present known respecting the Holy Land, and
he was of opinion that the proposed prosecution of exca-
vations in Palestine could but result in throwing addi-
tional light upon the Holy Text. Their object was to in-
stitute an inductive inquiry : they were not a religious
society, and what they proposed to do was to do collect all
the facts they could concerning the Holy Land, which was
of so much importance to every one amongst them. The
highest person in the land had that day signified her in-
tention of becoming the patron of the fund, and that fact
augured a great success for them. Ho would not trench
upon the ground to be taken up by others, but with these
few observations he would resume his seat.
The Bishop of LONDON moved the first resolution, which
was to the effect that a fund be formed for the prosecution
of explorations in the Holy Land.
Viscount STRANGFORD had great pleasure in seconding
the proposition. He had had an opportunity of seeing
what had been done by a private individual in that direc-
tiion, and from that he looked forward with great interest
to the proposed excavations to be made under the auspi-
ces of the fund now in course of formation.
The resolution was carried unanimously.

Mr. LAYARD then moved the second resolution, which
was to the effect that excavations of the nature proposed
would tend to throw a light upon the archa3ology of the
Jewish people. No country should be of so much interest
to us as that in which the documents of our Faith were
written, and the momentous events they describe
enacted. At the same time no country more urgently
requires illustration. The face of the landscape, the
climate, the productions, the manners, dress, and modes of
life of its inhabitants, differ in so many material respects
from Mess of the western warld, that without an accurate
knowledge of them it is not too much to say the outward
form and complexion of the events and much of the signi-
ficance of the records must remain more or less obscure.
Even to .a casual traveller in the Holy Land the Bible be-
comes, in its form and therefore to some extent in its sub-
stance, a new book. The Sultan, he felt assured, would
give every facility, and he hoped the Government would
contribute towards their fund.
Count VOQEL, the eminent French traveller, said he had
great pleasure in seconding the resolution moved by Mr.
Layard. All that was on the surface in Palestine and the
Holy Land had been thoroughly examined, but the trea-
sures that were at present hidden beneath the surface
remained for the excavators to bring to light.
There must be nothing of a national or ecclesiastical feel-
ing about the matter. What they had to do was to collect

the facts and lay aside the detail. He felt the proceedings
would be worthy of the free country whoso air he was so
happy in breathing that day for the first time. (Cheers.)
*The resolution was carried.

The Right Rev. Chairman then read the following list
of names as those forming the committee :—Patron, her
Majesty. Committee—Archbishop of York, Duke of
Argyll, Duke of Devonshire, Earl of Derby, Earl Russell,
Earl of Shaftesbury, Viscount Stratford de ,Redcliffe,

Tipping, Esq. ; W. S. W. Vaux, Esq. Hon. Secretary—
George Grove, Esq. -

Sir R. Muncnisas moved the next resolution, to the
effect that, in addition to the proposed researches in the
Hilly Land, it was desirable to carry out a system which
would elucidate the geological and geographical character
of the remarkable region of the Holy Land.
This resolution was also carried carried unanimously.
Several subscriptions were then made towards the pro-
posed fund; and a vote of thanks to the right rev, chair-
man concluded the proceedings.

MARKETS—This Day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of beasts on sale to-day was tolerably ex-
tensive, and all breeds moved off slowly on rather lower
terms. The general top figure for Scots and crosses was
5s per 81b. The show of sheep was moderate, yet sales
progressed slowly at drooping prices. The best Downs
and half-breds changed hands at 6s to 6s 2d per 81b. We
have to report a dull trado for lambs at barely previous
rates. The quotations ranged from 6s to is 8d per 81b.
The supply of calves being extensive the veal trade was
heavy at 2d per 81b. less money. Prime small pigs were
rather dearer, but milch cows ruled heavy.
