COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN RE LAING.-THE WEST INDIA FAILURES.

To-day was appointed for choice of assignees in the
case of this bankrupt, who was described as a master
mariner and merchant in the West India Trade, in Lon-
don and Dominica.

The bankruptcy is attributed to the failure of several
other firms in the same trade. From the preliminary
statement prepared by Messrs. Robinson and Knowles,
Basinghall-street, who are also engaged in winding-up
the accounts of other firms similarly situated, it appears
that the private debts do not exceed 2,0001., which the
assets will considerably exceed, but the amount of the
liabilities cannot at present be ascertained, as there are
three other firms declared bankrupt.
The choice was adjourned by consent.

SHERIFF'S COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before R. Gurney, Esq., and a Jury.)

IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO THE LIABILITY OF PARTNERS

-PAINE AND ANOTHER V. MAGRATH.

The plaintiffs in this action are solicitors, and defend-
ant is a statuary. The action was brought to recover
the sum of 171., the amount of a bill of costs.
The defendant pleaded a set off to the full amount.
Mr. Sleigh, as counsel, said that the pleadings were
wrong as to amount, for the set off ought to be for
121. 10s. only ; he must, therefore, submit to a verdict
against him for the difference, and he would not dispute
the fairness of the plaintiff's demand. The real ques-
tion would turn on a point as to whether the defendant
could maintain his plea of set off. .

Mr. Locke then stated the case :—Messrs. Paine and
Hatherley were in partnership, and the professional busi-
ness transacted for the defendant had been performed by
Mr. Hatherley, on the part of the firm. Mr. Hatherley
then gave an order for some work to be done at his pri-
vate house. Defendant did the work, for which he now
claimed the set off. The learned counsel submitted that
work done for one partner could not set off against a
debt due to the partnership.
Mr. Sleigh admittted that such was the law as apply-
ing to cases generally, but when the partners in a firm
allowed •ne partner to hold himself out as the sole re-
presentative, they were liable for his acts. In this case,
although the firm was Paine and Hatherley, yet the de-
fendant had never seen Mr. Paine, nor did Mr. Paine
know him ; the whole business had been conducted by
Mr. Hatherley. Mr. Sleigh quoted the case of Gordon
v. Ellis, 2, C.B. (Roscoe), in support of his argument.
Defendant was examined, and admitted that he thought
there was a partner, although he had never seen him.
The Learned Judge said that put an end to the case.
If defendant believed there was a partner, he could not
set off the claim he had against one partner, who, how-
ever, had his remedy.
The jury, therefore, under direction of the Judge, gave
a verdict for the full amount claimed.

HAMPTON RACES JUNE 15.

SHOCKING WRECK OF AN ENGLISH VESSEL AND
Loss OF LIFE.--Intelligence has just been communi-
cated at Lloyd's, of the total loss of an English vessel
called the Stewarts, with her commander, and most of
the crew, in a fearful gale, which visited the vicinity of
Cadiz in the early part of last week. The ill-fated vessel
was quite new, having only been launched about three
months since. She belonged to the Tyne, and, in the course
of last month, sailed from that river for Carthagena.
.The voyage was safe enough until nearing Cadiz, when
a most furious gale was encountered from the W.S.W.,
which seemed to have completely overwhelmed the un-
fortunate ship. The most desperate exertions of the crew
failed in preventing her being blown towards the shore,
and eventually Ascot (4)

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.—
Charles Bowie, a tall officially-looking fellow, was brought
before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with committing a vio-
lent assault on Mary Ann Bowie, his wife.
The complainant, a ruffian-looking female, stated that
on the previous night her husband came home the worse
for liquor and called for his supper. She placed it be-
fore him, and because it was a little cold he flung it at
her and broke all the plates and dishes. It was very
late and she had retired to rest, consequently the fire
had got low, but he was not contented with her expla-
nation, so he jumped up and treated her in such a brutal
manner that the neighbours came to her asssistance,
and called in a constable when she reludantly gave him
into custody. The wife here exhibited several bruises
on her face and arms, and prayed the magistrate not to
deal harshly with her husband.
The latter in a most sullen manner, said that he was
drunk, and he supposed he did it because his supper
was cold. The constable said, when he was called in
the prisoner seemed quite mad, and it was with con-
siderable difficulty that he could prevent him from using
further violence to his wife. On his way to the station-
house he was extremely violent.
Mr. A'Beckett remarked that he was a brutal fellow,
and under all the circumstances he should fine him 31.,
or two months' imprisonment.
The fine was not forthcoming, and the fellow was
committed.

THE ETON COLLEGE SPEECHES.

Yesterday the annual speeches were delivered in the
Upper School at Eton College, before a large and distin-
guished audience. Precisely at 11 o'clock his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by his Royal High-
ness the Prince of Wales and his Royal Highness Prince
Alfred, and attended by Col. the Hon. C. Grey, Captain
the Hon. Dudley de Ros, and Mr. Gibbs, arrived in two
of the royal carriages, preceded by outriders, from Wind-
sor Castle. His Royal Highness was received in Wes-
ton's Yard by the Rev. Dr. Hawtrey, the provost ; the
Rev. Dr. Goodford, the head master • the Rev. T. Car-
ter, and several of the Fellows, with the assistant mas-
ters of Eton.
As the Prince proceeded by way of the Cloisters to
the principal entrance to the school he was loudly cheered
by the spectators ; and as his Royal Highness passed
through the ranks of the boys to the centre of the school
the cheering was well-timed and most enthusiastic. The
provost and head master walked by the side of the Prince
Consort ; the Pripce of Wales and Prince Alfred, whose
meek and interesting features contrasted strongly with
the boisterous gaiety of the Eton boys, followed hand-
in-hand immediately after ; the Archbishop of Canter-
bury and the Bishop of Manchester came next ; then fol-
lowed Col. Grey! and Capt. de Ros (the equerries-in-
waiting), the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone (Chancellor
of the Exchequer), and the Duke of Newcastle—the ap-
pearance of the pwo last, both distinguished Etoneans,
being the signal for a renewed cheer. The procession
was closed by the fellows and masters, with Mr. Gibbs
(tutor to the Prince of Wales), and a few of the neigh-
bouring clergy. The Prince Consort and the Royal
Princes having taken their seats, surrounded by the
College authorities and their distinguished visitors, the
speeches were delivered.
After the speeches, which did not last more than an
hour, Prince Albert and the Royal Princes, accompanied
by the distinguished party already described, repaired to
the Provost's Lodge, and honoured Dr. Hawtrey by par-
taking of luncheon. A little before one the royal visitors
returned to Windsor Castle, the lusty cheers of the boys
accompanying them to the boundaries, of the College.
His Royal Highness, we understand, .expressed himself
highly gratified with his visit to the school.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

Yesterday, the half-yearly ordinary meeting of this
ompany took place at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-
street
; Lord de Manley in the chair. A report was
read which stated that the directors congratulated the
proprietors on the very successful manner in which the
submarine telegraph cable had been laid down between
England and Belgium. Since the 6th of May, when the
cable was safely secured at Middlekirke, on the Belgian
coast, the works between that port and Ostend have
been completed, and the submarine wires carried into
the teleo•raphic office of the Belgian Government at Os-
tend, and there unite' with the main telegraph at Brus-
rl, s• At the South Foreland the submarine wires have
been joined to the line between Dover and London, so
that at the present moment an uninterrupted and in-
11tantaneous communication exists between London and
Brussels, and experimental messages have been daily
transmitted since the first of the present month. The
advantages of this direct transmission of dispatches
to and from Brussels, avoiding the intermediate
stations of Dover and Ostend, cannot be too highly
appreciated, and from the liberality and enlightened
to of the Belgian Government, the company expect
0 obtain still more important privileges, by which Berlin
and Vienna may equally be brought into- immediate
correspondence with London. The directors need hardly
Point out the very large amount of messages that will
Pass over this line of telegraph, as it opens up a direct
communication to Belgium, Prussia, Hanover, the Zoll-
Yerein, and, in fact, the whole of the north-eastern por-
tion of Euroe
op , which, tegether with the rapid increase
f teleoTaphic dispatches generally between Great
13ritain'and the Continent, warrants their anticipating
a very large revenue. The working of the first five
months in 1852 of the Submarine Telegraph between
ver and Calais, shows the transmission of 4,899 mes-
sages, yielding a revenue of 2,2171. lls. ld. In the
first fiv• months of the present year, the number of
messages transmitted has amounted to 12,151, producing
the sum of 6,582/. 4s. 10d , being an increase of reve-
nue of nearly 200 per cent', within twelve months. The
Belgian Submarine Telegraph will be opened for the
public transmission of messages on the 20th of the
present month, from which date this line and the tele-
graph between Dover and Calais will be worked in
Perfect unison, the capital of the companies being equal,
the shares bearing the same value, and participating
equally in expenditure and receipts ; and when it is re-
Membered that the companies possess the exclusive right
of telegraphic communication to all parts of the con-
tinent via, France and Belgium, the directors cannot be
thought over sanguine in anticipating a brilliant success
to their undertaking.
The report was adopted, and the retiring directors
having been re-elected, the business terminated.

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA.

On the order of the day for resuming the adjourned
debate on the subject of the bill for the government of
India,
Mr. BLACKETT expressed his deep conviction that
the speech of the honourable baronet (Sir J. W.
Hogg), able and clear as it was, had failed to
shake the case which the honourable member for
Manchester had made out against the Court of Direc-
tors. He complained of the difficulty that was expe-
rienced in obtaining returns from the India House, and
accused the Court of Directors of being actuated by
a desire to keep the house as much in the dark
as possible about the affairs of India. He
insisted that the house was not in possession of sufficient
resources of information to be able to legislate with
safety on this subject, and he therefore objected to the
introduction of the bill.

DISCOVERY OF A COPPER MINE.—On the estate of the
Marquis of Downshire, in the neighbourhood of Dun-
drum, there has been lately discovered a mine, yielding
copper ore of superior quality. As we have not yet
heard full particulars, we merely give the fact as it came
to us, but we expect shortly to be in possession of all the
circumstances, when we will have something to say on
the subject.—Down Recorder.

_ .
ORCHARD PRosPEcTs.—The orchards every where
around us, says the Taunton, Courier, are uncommonly
profuse of blossoms, and so well set, that the retention
by the apple and pear-trees of nine-tenths of the floral
gaieties, to the period of fruitage, seems probable.
Frosts may, however, interpose their destructive influ-
ence, as frequently has happened at a still more ad-
vanced period of the year. A large cider supply may,
nevertheless, be confidently expected.

ROWLA.ND'S MACASSAR OIL possesses sin-
gularly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and
improvement of the Human Hair, and when every other specific has
failed. „

This celebrated Oil is now universally acknowledged to. be the
cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It
prevents it from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak :hair
—produces a thick and luxuriant growth— cleanses it from El curt
and Dandriff—and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its
operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; and in the grc wth
of WHISKERS, EYEBROWS, and MUSTACHIOS, It is unfailing In its
stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended,
as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use
of the fine-comb unnecessary. In dressing the hair nothing can
equal its effect, rendering the Hair so adMirably soft that it will lie in
any direction, and imparting a transcendant lustre.—Price 3s. 6d.
and 7s. ; Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d. ; and double
that size, 21s. _

CAUTION!—On the wrapper of each Bottle are the words, Bt w-
Lexu's Iltlacassen On, is two lines. The same are engraven on the
back of the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, contabling 29,028 letti3rs.

thoroughly laid bare, or the whole of the vile
machinery more clearly held up to public indigna-
tion. The "W. B." inquiry—the prosecution
and confession of MORGAN—the investigation be-
for the Blettion. Committee, terminating in the
unseating of the Tory, and the substitution of the
Liberal, Member—all tend to the same point. But
it is the promised prosecution for conspiracy that
will form the consummation so devoutly to be
wished for—that will " cap the climax." Much
as we respect the decision of a Select Committee
of the House of Commons, there are subjects on
which we should greatly prefer that of a jury of
twelve men, assisted by one of the Judges
of the Superior Courts. There is a natural
reluctance on the part of those who have
themselves been concerned in 'electioneering
transactions to hurl too weighty a stone against a
detected brother—a tendency to soften down into
" indiscretion" that which before another tribunal
might be called by a sterner and a harder name.
We rejoice, then, at the promise so distinctly
made at the Derby banquet, and we hail the un-
equivocal admission made in favour of the Ballot
—the most important of all the branches of Par-
liamentary Reform—by one whose great experi-
ence constitutes him one of the best witnesses
that could. be found as to the best means of
materially mitigating, if not entirely eradicating,
bribery, corruption, and intimidation. From
what has already transpired with respect to the
Derby and other elections, it is manifest that the
existing laws on the subject are not sufficiently
stringent to meet the acknowledged evil. There
must, then, be some new legislation on the
subject ; and as " prevention is better than
punishment," why not endeavour rather to
remove the temptation to the crime than to
subject the offenders to stringent penalties ? The
Derby demonstration will, we trust, produce a
considerable effect, not merely among representa-
tives; but among the represented. The argu-
ments there adduced must have considerable effect
in persuading all those anxious to promote "purity
of election" to demand " the Ballot" in all its in-
tegrity, as the only means of achieving that great
desideratum.
