IN RE CALISHRR.

The bankrupt was a jeweller in Norfolk-street. His
debts and liabilities are 18,000/. This was the certi-
ficate meeting.
~ . ..

Mr. SidneY, for the assignees, said the bankrupt
had dealt in accommodation bills ; there were little or
no assets.

Mr. Lawrance, for the bankrupt, said ho had many
debtors serving in the Crimea, and which would ac-
count for the large amount of doubtful and unrealised
debts.

Mr. Edwards (official assignee)—•The bad debts are
16,0001. I have been offered 1001. for the lot.

His Honour said the bankrupt had acted recklessly
in giving credit. In many cases, the names of the
debtors were given without any address. He would
adjourn the consideration of the certificate six months,
in order that the result of the winding up of the estate
might be better known.
INURE RE CRIPPS.

The bankrupt was a wine and spirit merchant of
Shrewsbury. His debts are 1,2001., assets about 3401.
This was the certificate meeting. Mr. Duncan sup-
ported ; Mr. Taylor opposed.
His Honour said the bankrupt ought to have stopped
earlier, and his expenditure was wholly disproportionate
to the profits. He would receive a third-class certificate,
after eight months suspension.

Jury.)
BRADLEY V. LYON.

This was an action brought in the Court of Exche-
quer, by the plaintiff, Edward Bradley, against the de-
fendant, William Charles Lynn, for criminal conversa-
tion with his wife. The damages were laid in the decla-

judgment to go by default, a jury was empannelled to
assess the compensation to be awarded.

Mr. Pearson for the defendant.
After the jury was sworn, the learned counsel for the
plaintiff informed the Court that his learned friend and
himself had agreed that the damages in the case should
be assessed by consiont at 4001., and there would, there-
fore, be no necessity to go into the case.
Mr. Pearson intimated his acquiescence in the amount
of damages mentioned by his learned friend.
The Jury, under the direction of the learned Tinder-
Sheriff, assessed the damages at 4001.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Very moderate supplies of English wheat have arrived
this week, coastwise and by land carriage. The show of
samples, to-day, was limited. Fine white qualities were
in fair request, at Monday's currency ; but red met a dull
inquiry, and the quotations were again rather easier.
Foreign wheat—the supply of which was by no means
extensive moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices.
There was very little done in floating ,cargoes.
We were fairly supplied with barley, which sold slowly
and low parcels were easier to purchase.
The inquiry for malt was inactive, at late currencies.
We were well supplied with oats. Tho demand ruled
heavy, at a decline of quite 6d. per quarter.
Beans, peas, and flour commanded wily little attention.

THE TURKISH LOAN.

The following communication has been addressed by
the contractors of the Turkish Loan to the committee
of the Stock Exchange, on the full completion of all the
formalities connected with its negotiation. As its amount
is 3,000,0001., and the firman, in accordance with the
original notification, 'authorises 5,000,0001., a further
sum of 2,000,0001. may be contracted for whenever the
Turkish Government may deem such a step desirable ;
but it is understood/that the lowest price the agents have
hitherto been authorised to entertain for the additional
issue is 90 per cent., and that there has been no intima-
tion of any intention to reduce it :--

THE WEATHER IN THE NORTH.—Winter seems now
fairly set in here. For two weeks past the weather has
been very wet and cold ; but on Thursday evening last

DENMARK.

Letters from Copenhagen state that the degree
of power to be attributed, in the new constitution,
to the Grand Council of the kingdom, was the
giound of difference between the King and MM.
Reventlow, Moltke, and Hansen, the ministers
who have just resigned. The King, it is said,
gave the Ministry to understand that he intended
to grant the prayer of the many petitions which
he had received on his journey, and to give the
Grand Council the right to refuse as well as to vote
taxes.

RUSSIA.

The Soldier's Friend of Vienna says :—" Winter
has set in with considerable severity in Southern
Russia, and the troops are marching to their places
of destination in the midst of ice. The couriers,
who only took five days to go from Sebastopol to
Moscow, are now so much delayed that it is pro-
bable that intelligence will arrive more rapidly by
the Levant than by St. Petersburg."
A letter front Odessa, of the 15th, states that
the weather has become very boisterous, high wind,
rain, and snow prevailing. There was no vessel
of the enemy in sight. General Osten-Sacken is to
replace General Dannenberg, in the Crimea, with
the most extensive powers. The reason assigned
for this change is that General Dannenberg, in the
affair 3f the sth, did not completely execute the
orders which he had received.
' If reports of merchants and commercial travellers
coming from Russia can be relied on, a general
belief, or rather terror, exists among all classes in
the interior that the Emperor has dceided that the
next levy of recruits shall not be limited to the ex-
traordinary number of 10, but raised to the exorbi-
tant amount of 2a, per 1,000 souls, throughout
both grand circumscriptions of the empire.

points of importance to all employers engaged in manu-
factures or trade :
" 10, St. Mary-axe, Leadenhall-street, Nor. 27.
"Sir,—Might I request your answer to the following
questions relating to the new Stamp Act?
" 1. My smith's account is kept in two books—one for
him, one for me. On this latter he gives me each week
a receipt for money paid him.
" 2. My foreman carpenter, who works solely for me by
contract on my promises, enters also in a book all the
work done and sums paid him.
" Can, in either case, the penny stamp be dispensed
with, or does the act make the use of it obligatory?
" Thanking you beforehand for the favour of a reply, I
beg to subscribe myself

THE GOVERNORSHIP OF PORTSMOUTH.

Major-General Simpson, Lieutenant-Governor of
Portsmouth, is appointed Deputy Adjutant-General to
the Forces, vice Sir G. A. Wetherall, C. 8., K.H., ap-
pointed Adjutant General at the Horse Guards. This
makes the Governorship of Portsmouth and the command
of the South-Western District vacant. So scarce have
the troops become that the Major-General commanding
at Portsmouth has informed the Admiral Superintendent
of that dockyard, for the information of the Lords of the
Admiralty, that, after a few more days, he will not be
able to furnish any troops for dockyard duties or guards.
This, it is expected, will necessitate the calling into ser-
vice of the dockyard brigades for the duties of those
, establishments.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION - HOUSE. Francis Fitzpatrick was
charged with having sold a quantity of spirits on Sunday
morning last at his house, the same house not being a
place mentioned or allowed by the Act of Parliament of
the 6th Geo. IV., cap. 80, sec. 138. The case excited a
good deal of interest, it being known that Sunday trad-
ing in spirituous liquors has been for some time carried
on in the low neighbourhood of the City, on premises
not licensed ; and Sir R. W. Carden having given direc-
tions that suspected places of such traffic should be
watched and reported,

Monger, of the detective police, said—ln consequence
of information received by me, I sent a man on Sunday
morning, at nine o'clock, to the defendant's house, No.
14, Princes-street, Rosemary-lane, to purchase a quartern
of gin, and I watched him in and out. I had given him
s, marked sixpence to pay for the gin, and he brought me
the spirit and gave a penny in change. I went to the
station-house and left the gin there, and having obtained
the assistance of another officer I went back to the de-
fendant's house, accompanied by the person I had sent
to make the purchase. When I was in the house a rpan,
who was sitting down, called for a glass of rum. Ho
procured it, drank it, threw down sixpence to pay for it,
and asked for threepence change. We then took the
prisoner in charge. 0* searching the room we found a
bottle of rnm, a bottle of gin, and a bottle of half-and-
half. I found the marked sixpence I had given to my
messenger in his possession.
The defendant's house was proved net to be a licensed
or an entered house.
James Cushion, a labourer, said, the last witness sent
me with a marked sixpence to the defendant's house, and
I asked for a quartern of gin, paid for it, and received a
penny change.
The gin was here produced and tasted by some old
judges in the room, who pronounced, it diminutive in
quantity, execrable in quality, and extremely feeble.
The ordinary price of " blue ruin" was, they said, 4d. a
quartern, but sd. had been paid for the stuff in question
for considerably less than a quartern, and the flame pro-
duced by applying it to the candle was evanescent, and
was long outlived by the stink.
Sir R. W. Carden—How much water appears to have
been used in the ingredients ?
The Inspector—About two-thirds are water, the rest
appears to be what is called "jiggers," a compound of
the treacle extracted from filthy old matting and other
rubbish, and never rectified.
Further evidence as to the sale of the commodity
having been produced,
The defendant said that he was a hardworking man,
who never entertained a thought of selling- spirits, but
his wife being in the habit of washing for seafaring
people, some of the customers had met at the house on
the Saturday, and the gin and rum were he remains of
the carousal, which he thought he might use.
Monger said there was indisputable proof that the
defendant had been carrying on the Sunday trading in
the way described upwards of ten months.

The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has the fol-
lowing from Vienna, 25th :—" On the occasion of
Prince de Metternich's fete-day a numerous com-
pany dined with him at his villa. An Austrian
statesman who was present made the remark that
the political principles of the prince had just ob-
tained a marked success, since two days before it
was known that the Cabinet of Berlin had acceded
completely to the wishes of the Austrian Govern-
ment, and that this latter was in a position to give
an assurance that the intention of the Emperor was
to cling more closely than ever to the Western
Powers, and to act in concert with them, paying
as mach attention as possible to their views, but at
the same time reserving the free action of Austria
as a great power."
The Prince of Prussia had a long interview with
the British Ambassador at Berlin on the 24th.
On the same day, Lord Bloomfield paid a visit to
Count Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador,

LATEST NEWS.

THE KING OF PRUSSIA'S
SPEECH.

We have received a despatch from Berlin dated
yesterday, which states that the fresh additional

article agreed upon by Austria and Prussia on
the 26th contains the adoption of the four points,

and undertakes to procure their acceptance.

Prussia also promises her assistance to Austria

if attacked in the Principalities.
TLe King's Speech upon the opening of the
Prussian Chambers yesterday contains the follow-

ing passages :-
cc A bloody conflict has broken out between
three powerful members of the family of European

Stltes.

" Our fatherland is not yet affected ; I hays
fresh occasion to hope that the basis of a further
understanding will soon perhaps be obtained.
" Closely united with Austria and the rest of
Germany, I shall continue to look upon it as my
task to plead for peace, the recognition of the in
dependence of foreign States, and moderation.

Should I subsequently be compelled to add
force to this attitude, Prussia's and my faithful
people will bear their inevitable burdens with
resignation, and know how to meet such even-
tualities.

" The army shall he made ready for war."

The following has been received from Mar-

seilles :

" MARSEILLES, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

"The Nil, steamer, which has been due for
,hree days, with the mail from Constantinople of
;he 20th, was forced to put into Antibes.

" A Queen's messenger, bearing despatches,
who came by her, has left by the 1 p.m. train."

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

JASSY, Nov. 15.—A Paris correspondent of the
Independance Beige speaks of large quantities of
powder and other war material having been lately
drawn by the Russians from the Principalities.
The writer affects to wonder that any political im-
portance should have been attributed to the fact,
and dismisses it as a mere affair of smugglers.
The works of the electric telegraph, intended to
connect Jassy with Czernovitz, were commenced
yesterday. It is hoped they will be finished in a
month.
Prince Ghika has resumed the direction of the
Government. His first act has been, as was ex-
pected, to change his ministers, and the new names
that figure in the council have been favourably
received in general. They belong to that class of
boyards who profess to repudiate those venal habits
with which a certain party has been only too often
reproached.
The following are the names :
Minister of the Interior—M. Stephen Catargi,
member of the preceding administration, when he
had the portfolio of Justice.
Minister of Finance—M. P. Mavrojeni, formerly
Minister of Public Works.
Minister of Foreign Affairs—Prince Constantine
Ghika, eldest son of the Prince Regent.
Minister of Justice—M. Radoucan, the Prince's
son-in-law.
Minister of Public Instruction, and Worship—
M. Ralletti, previously Director or Under Secre-
tary of State to the Minister of Justice.
Minister of Public Works—M. Rolla.
Prince Nicholas Soutzo has a seat in the council
without a portfolio, on account of his Hellenic de-
scent, and he remains, what he was before the
Russian occupation, the privy councillor of the
Prince.

ground of difference between the King and MM.
Reventlow, Moltke, and Hansen, the ministers
who have just resigned. The King, it is said,
gave the Ministry to understand that he intended
to grant the prayer of the many petitions which
he had received on his journey, and to give the
Grand Council the right to refuse as well as to vote
taxes.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

.111ANSION • HOUSE. Francis Fitzpatrick. was
charged with having sold a quantity of spirits on Sunday
morning last at his house, the same house not being a
place mentioned or allowed by the Act of Parliament of
the 6th Geo. IV., cap. 80, sec. 138. The case excited a
goad deal of interest, it being known that Sunday •:),(1-
mg in spirituous liquors has been for some time carried
on in the low neighbourhood of the City, on pros oises
not licensed ; and Sir R. W. Carden having given direc-
tions that suspected places of such traffic shou2id be
watched and reported,
Monger, of the detective police, said—ln consequence
of information received by me, I sent a man oa ScutdaY
morning, at nine o'clock, to the defendant's hous.a, No.
14, Princes-street, Rosemary-lane, to purchase a qi'.. trtern
o f gin, and I watched him in and out. I had giv en him
a, marked sixpence to pay for the gin, and he brought me
.he spirit and gave a pennyin change. I went to the
station-house and left the gin there, and having o'3tainecl
the assistance of another officer I went back to •the de-
fendant's house, accompanied by the person I bad sent
to make the purchase. When I was in the house a man,
who was sitting down, called for a glass of rum. He
procured it, drank it, threw down sixpence to pay for it,
and asked for threepence change. We then to.)k the
prisoner in charge. Oa searching the room we fund a
bottle of rum, abottle of gin, and a bottle of half-and-
half. I found the marked sixpence I had givert to my
messenger in his possession.
The lefenda at's house was proved not to be a. licensed
or an e stereo. house.

Jata.ts Cushion, a labourer, said, the last witness sent
me wit h a n Larked sixpence to the defendant's house, and
I asked for a quartern of gin, paid for it, and received a
penny chat age.
The gin. was here produced 'and tasted by sortie old
judges in the room, who pronounced it diminutive in
quantity, execrable in quality, and extremely feeble.
The ordiarlry price of " blue ruin" was, they. said, 4d. a
quarterly but sd. had been paid for the stuff in quesion
fur cone id.erably less than a quartern, and the flame pro-

MATERIALS FOR PAPER.

(From the China Mail.)
A reward of 1,0001. has been offered in England to
any person wh• will discover a substitute for rags, in
the manufacture of paper. If by the word " substitute"
is meant one that is suitable for making paper quite
equal to that made from rags, it is probable no
such reward will ever be paid, and that the adver-
tisers have adopted an ingenious method of obtaining
information at little cost. The paper the reader now
holds in his hand is manufactured from shavings
of the bamboo plant in China. The quality is fair,
though not equal to the best English printing paper ;
yet who can say how much it might be improved by
European skill and the use of machinery ? We have
only Chinese authority for stating, that this paper is
manufactured from bamboo, as foreigners are not ad-
mitted to the provinces where it is made ; but the re-
port seems to receive confirmation from the fact, that
three years ago all the bamboos most common in the
Canton provinces shed their seed and died, and the con-
sequence was a rise of nearly 50 per cent. in the price
of paper. If bamboo shavings can be turned to such
account, the supply of raw material is inexhaustible,
thousands of acres being kept in the West Indies for
firewood alone.

(Prom the Delhi Gazette,)
Now that hemp is lo4ing up in the English market,
we suppose some adventurous trader will turn his eyes
on the hundreds of acres spontaneously produced in the
mountains of Kumaon, where it is the chief of the weeds,
and but little checked in its superabundance. It is mot,
however, so tall or vigorous in its stems as the same
plants in Kashmir, where it sometimes forms almost
impenetrable jungles ; but the latter country is too re-
mote to render so coarse a product of any profit to the
merchant, and it therefore remains with this district to
furnish the product.
