THE NEW LAW OF BANKRUPTCY.—Yesterday the
new Act, 12 and 13 Viet., 116, to amend and cone
solidat, too laws relating to bankrupts, came into opera-
tion The Act c titains 278 sections, and a number of
echeduies, containing a variety of fo7ms. It may be
regarded as a step towards the codification of general
laws. Fiats are now abolished, and proceedings in
bankruptcy are to be commenced by " petition.' In-
stead of :sol. in fees at the commencement of a case, 101.
-is to be paid in stamp du'y. Henceforth no trader can
pass on ins owe petition, unless he has a clear estate of
five shillings in the pound for his creditors. There are
some stringent provisions as to the conduct of traders
both before and after their bankruptcy. Nine offences
are specifically mentioned, such as concealing or altering
books, making away with property, vexatiously incurring
law expenses, or omitting to keep proper accounts. An
appeal is given to one of the Vice-Chancellors in all
matters of bankruptcy, especially with reference to the
allowance, suspension, or refusal of a certificate. There
are also provisions for arrangements of a private cha-
racter under deeds, and the majority of creditors are to
bind the minority. The new rules to regulate the prac-
tice of the courts are expected to be shortly issued. His
Honour Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce will be the Ape
pellant Judge in Bankruptcy. •
THE FIRE IN LONDON-wALL.—During yesterday
(Friday) a great number of firemen and others were en-
gaged in the ruins of Messrs. Gooch and Cousins' pre-
mises, in London wall, collecting the salvage remaining
therein. Before six o'clock last evening as many as nine
or ten waggon loads of wool, worth some thousand
pounds, had been taken from the ruins and removed to
the Artillery-ground. The wool Is but little damaged
except by wa. er, and should the weather continue fine,
it is expected that the material will be sufficiently dry
to be re-stocked in the course of a few days. The whole
of the extensive space in front of Carpenter's Hall has
also been covered with wool removed from the premises,
and it is expected that the whole still remaining beneath
the ruins cannot be got out for at least another week, so
great is the quantity. A great deal of confusion has
been caused in consequence of the bides having been
brok• n by the action of the fire and their contents min-
gled together; it is therefore impossible to tell to whom
the property belonged. The only coural, therefore, lett
will be to sell the bulk by auction and *vide the pro
ceeds, according to the amounts insureff,-amongst the •
different offices interested. The assessors of losses add
surveyors to the various insurance offices were busy
during the day in endeavouring to ascertain the exact
amount of loss, but as yet without success.
HACKNEY BENEVOLENT PENSION SOCIETY.—The
tenth annual meeting of the subscribers of this institu-
tion, founded for the relief of decayed housekeepers and
others, was held on Wednesday night, Mr. J. Frankland
presiding. The report Of the committee expressed regret
that the expenses of the last year exceeded the income
by 141. 4s. 4d. There were now twenty-four pensioners
receiving '272/. per annum, and unless vigorous efforts
were made to augment the society's funds, the number of
applicants to be eb cted halt-yearly would be much re-
duced. The fund for building almshouses was progie -
sively increasing, and consisted of 800/. stock, besides
balance of nearly 301. The report was r ceived, and
after votes of thanks to the committee, secretaries, and
to the chairman, the meeting separated.
~,
TO BLACK GRATES AND STOVES.—MiX a gill Of
stale beer and two ounces of black-lead together; add $
piece of common soda, the size of a nut. Having removed
all soot and ash-dust from the grate, rub it over with the
mixture. Take a hard brush and rub it well. A great
brilliancy will soon be produced.

A POST•OFFICE IN A FIX.—On Sunday morning
last a small parcel, while being stamped at the post-
office, Nottingham, was shivered into many pienes,when
to the horror of the stamper, who has been ill ever since,
the consternation of the worthy post-master, the fearful
excitement of the clerks, sorters, &c., and the confusion
of the whole office, the letters and newspapers were scat-
tered in all directions—from the remains of a glass bottle
which had been directed to a teetotal medical gentle-
man of the town, 10l out sprung a frog.—Nottingharn.
