scale at full rates. The market has a firm appearance.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the quantity of Ceylon

Coffee offered at auction was large, amounting to 656
casks and 2,206 bags. There was less desire on the part
of home dealers to make sales, and Native was all taken
in at 38s 6d to 39a for good ord, there not being buyers
at these rates. Plantation was operated in with caution,
and not above half sold; the rates taken were rather

however, not many buyers, and a slight fall in the value
is apparent. At public sale 450 pkgs Trinidad were
only in part sold at from 39s to 465, and one lot of supe-
rior red 50s 6d. There has been little passing in

3s 6d to 3s 9i, and black at 3s 2d to 4s per lb.

tiled; at present only small parcels of Spanish are sold
at former terms.

rather cheaper, and the supply exceeds dealers' wants. At
auction 576 casks of Sydney were only in part sold at
34s 3d to 38s 6d for ordinary to fine ; 1,200 pkgs South

The quantity of Rough Fat is still 2s per stone, and
there is, however, a much larger stock.
OlLS.—There has been less business concluded in Palm
Oil, and former rates are not to be obtained, although
there is not a larger supply. At auction 55 casks were
for the most part taken in at 28s to 30s 6d. Cocoa
Nut is in greater supply, and prices are re.
ceding on account :of a limited demand. Of
600 packages offered at auction a small part
only sold; Cochin at 34s to 35s 9d, low 30s Gd to 32s 6d,
Ceylon 33s to 345, and Madras 30s to 345. An increased
demand has been experienced for Rapeseed Oil, and
higher rates are paid. Sales of pale have been made at
393 6d to 40s, and brown 38s to 393, the suppip is less than
for some time. Linseed Oil has bee nin excellent demand

by home dealers, and some shipping oaders have been
executed. Prices are higher, and rule at 25s 9d to 963
per cn't on ehe spot, but there is a large supply, and
crushers are freely at work. For delivery a good
business has been concluded at 25s 3d to 25s
6d, and there are not free sellers: The mar-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 3.
(Before the CHIEF COMMISsIONER.)
IN RE CHARLES THROSBY.

The insolvent is an under graduate of Oxford Uni-
versity. It will be recollected that the insolvent's
debts were 764/. ; that he is the son of a gentleman
residing in Australia ; that his father had written to
his solicitors, Messrs. Young and Vallings, of St.
Mildred's-court, Poultry, authorising them to apply
to Mr. Ellis for the sum of 3001., and to apply the
same to the liquidation of his son's debts, provided
that the snm would suffice to pay them in full. His
Honour ultimately ordered the insolvent to be dis-
charged, conditionally upon the payment of a sum of
250/. into court.

Mr. COOKE, on behalf of the insolvent, now in-
formed the Court that Messrs. Young and Vallings
had, after mature deliberation, and a re-perusal of
Mr. Throsby, senior's, letter, with every desire to
arrive at a different interpretation, arrived at the con-
clusion that they were not authorised to pay the
sum on any other condition than that the payment
should give the insolvent a full release. They were
willing thus to apply the entire sum of 3001. (and
not 2501. as his Honour had named) in this manner,
and Mr. Nichols, the insolvent's solicitor, had com-
municated accordingly with the creditors. The result
was, that creditors to the amount of 5461., including
Messrs. Spiers and Son, 25/. ; Mr. Prior, 1201. • Mr.
Blackwell, 161 ; Mr. Symonds, 301.; Mr. Slater,
10/ ; Mr. Richardson, 161.; Messrs. Herbert awl
Co., 10/. ; Mr. Simpson, 21/. ; Mr. Fowke, 151.; Mr.
Warner, 161.; Mr. Totty, 401.; Mr. Fletcher, 60/. ;
Mr. Sandilands, 40/. ; Miss Maye, 25/. • Dr. Price,
20/. ; and Mr. Hill, 601., had isitimated their willing-
ness to accept the same, and give the desired release.
A few other creditors, of whom Mr. Randall, hatter
and draper, was the principal one, had not acceded to
the proposal. He (Mr. Cooke) had therefore to re-
quest his Honour would give judgment upon the
case. It was much to be regretted that the whole of
the creditors had not accepted the offer that had been
made ; they would have been paid 7s. in the pound at
once, and they would have had a claim upon the
insolvent, as a man of honour, to pay the remaining
133. in the pound, should he hereafter be in possession
of means to do so.
The COMMISSIONER suggested whether Messrs.
Young and Vallings might not reconsider their de-
cision. p Thero o

in-
solvent, solvent, with the exception that the creditors might
hereafter apply to the Commissioners of that court in
the event of the insolvent becoming possessed of pro-
perty. The discretion whether the insolvent should
then be required to pay the remaining part of the
debt would then rest with the Court. .

Mr. COOKE explained how the debtor would
remain subject to annoyance, and be virtually at the
mercy of any creditor, by obtaining such a conditional
release.

The COMMISSIONER inquired of Mr. Randall what
course he now felt called upon to pursue ?
Mr. RANDALL said he would place himself in his
Honour's hands. He had suffered a great deal by
imputations that had been cast upon him for his con-
duct. The insolvent, in his schedule, had made a
statement which was untrue. He had attributed his
insolvency to him (Mr. Randall), saying that it was
owing to his suing him, and not waiting the receipt
of a communication from his father, that he had been
compelled to petition that court.
Mr. COKE explained the remark, and said the in-
solvent was willing to correct it.
After some further discussion, Mr. Randall said he
was willing to accept 7s. in the pound, provided he
had a claim for the remaining 13s. in the pound,
should the insolvent become possessed of property
some ten or fifteen years hence. He had been in.
formed that the insolvent's father was a very wealthy
man. The insolvent's expenditure with the Oxford
tradesmen had been such that it could not with pro-
priety be said that they had encouraged him in habits
of extravagance. His expenditure with them had not
exceeded 1351. a year.
The COMMISSIONER said that on this subject he had
made some remarks on the occasion of former hear-
ings. He did not at the time wish them to be severe ;
but he saw no reason to retract anything that he had
then said.
After some further discussion, the Learned COM-
MISSIONER reminded Mr. Randall of what he had
said respecting his willingness to leave his case in his
hands, and suggested that the best course for all
parties would be to accede to the offer that had been
made.

Mr. Randall intimated that he could not accede to
any proposal that would give th• insolvent an unqua-
lified release.

His HoNona said that cases had occurred in that
court where debtors, after a lapse of twenty or thirty
years, had honourably placed the means of paying
their creditors in full in the hands of the Court, and
obtained the dismissal of their petitions, and appealed
to Mr. Randall whether it might not be the best
course to trust to the honour of the insolvent and his
friends ?

Mr. RANDALL said he had others to consult, and
could not at present adopt the suggestion of the Court.
The Learned CohnursszoNEß then said that he
would defer giving his judgment until the 17th inst.
He had thrown out to Mr. Randall his opinion of
what he should do, and he was willing to hope that
the pain consequent upon a judgment might yet lie
spared.
Adjourned to 17th inst. accordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
CLERKENWELL.
Yesterday a respectable-looking middle-aged man,
who gave his name George Harrison, but whose real
name was subsequently discovered to be George
William Dowling, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Combe, charged by Mrs. Amelia Hodge, a respectable
married young woman, residing with her husband at
No. 2, Victoria-place, Pentonville, with having in-
decently and violently assaulted her.
The prosecutrix deposed that her husband was ill
and confined to his bed. On Sunday morning last,
about half-past one o'clock, she had been with some
of her friends at Hoxton, and was returning home
along the City-road, when the prisoner asked her the
way to Henry-street. She said she did not know.
He followed her as far as the gates at the New River
leading to Duncan-terrace, where he seized her by
the wrists, and dragging her violently through the
gates he conducted himself towards her in a most
violent and indecent manner. She resisted him, and
called for a3.3istance, when he called her a vile name,
and she released herself from him. She was greatly
terrified, and proceeded towards the Angel Tavern,
at Islington, where the prisoner was given into the
custody of Harris, 112 N, who took him to the
station-house, where he refused to give his name and
address, and was locked up.
By the prisoner—l did not willingly walk with
you. You dragged me violently. You dared me to
give you into custody.
Harris, 112 N, confirmed the prosecutrix's evidence,
and added other facts, which left no doubt as to the
prisoner's disgraceful conduct, and he was confirmed
by other officers, who spoke as to prisoner's conduct
when in the station-house.
Mr. CON= asked the prisoner what he had to say
to the charge ? Prisoner—l deny it altogether. She
walked with me some distance, and wanted money
of me. _

COMBE—Why did you refuse to give your
name and address at the station-house ? Prisoner—
I had my motives in doing so. I confess now,
Harrison is not my name, but I can satisfy you of
my respectability. I live upon my income. He here
handed to Mr. Combe some documents, showing that
he was entitled to a yearly income, and he hoped
that, by giving a wrong name, his case would not be
prejudiced.
Mr. COMBE—I see you are here described as
" George William Dowling, of No. 19, Devonshire-
street, Portman-square."

Mr. CCMll3E—Then you are committed to the House
of Correction as a rogue and vagabond, under the
Vagrant Act, for two months, with hard labour.
Prisoner—Very well, your Worship. He then
strutted indignantly from the bar, and was locked up.

STRANGE STORY.—Donald Macgillivray, a native
of the parish of Duthill, joined the Cameron High-
landers at an early age, and being distinguished for
military prowess, was lately discharged with Is. 6d. a
day. Ile returned home to pass the remainder of his
days in the land of his birth, and as he approached
Aviemore ho was not a little surprised to find an old
acquaintance of his, named A. Cameron, engaged in the
same work, with the same hcrse, and in the very same
place where ho left him twenty one years ago! Donald
saluted him with—'. Übh, übh, Alaster, s' fada a gabhail
i blirdhna harfichead." (The yoke is a very long one,
Sandy—twenty-one years.) Master eon recognised
his old friend, and returned his salutation with equal
warmth.—Perthshire Advertiser.

LABUAN.—In a letter from a correspondent of the
Friend of China, dated Labuan, 15th Alma, 1849, the
fallowing item is contained:—" Some more people who
were held in slavery in Borneo have escaped to this
place. They immediately found their way to the Lieu-
tenant-Governor, and great was their joy when ho
kindly assured them they were perfectly free, and could
not he taken away again. This fact the Pangerans and
Orang Cayu (rich men) studiously keep from their
slaves, well knowing that, if aware of the tact, they
would not willingly continue in bondage to them. To-
day a large probe, belonging to tho Sultan, arrived with
some Pangerans, bringing a measure from the Govern.'
me.nt. I was honoured with a visa on their return to
their prahu."
