nion. We are only certain that the main body of the'
new Carlist expedition was commanded by Doll
BASILIO GARCIA, whose defeat would be tanta-
mount to an overthrow of the project so long cherished
by the PRETENDER and his friends :
" BAYONNE, JAN. 3.
" Several persons here have received tidings that 13asilio
Garcia, in an attempt to force the passage of the Ebro be.
twecn Lodosa and Tudeln, has been completely beaten, and
lost a number of men, not less than 300 being drowned. There
arc no official reports as yet, but I have seen a Spanish pea-
sant here, who declares he was witness of the action on the 28th
of December. All communication by Valcarlos being cut off
would account for the news, if true, not reaching by the regu•
, lar channel.
" I have al-io seen a letterfrom Ilergara, of the 3 Ist , stating
that the other Carlist expeditionary column, under Moreno,
which had advanced into the Ineartaciones had been obliged to
return."

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT•

(THIS DAY. )

(Before the CON/MI:3810MM and Commisslonera BOWEN and

HARRIS )
ACCOMMODATION BlLL9.—Thomas Pitt Spearing, a Commissioners'
agent, applied upon his petition to-be discharged. The insolvent attri.
buted his insolvency to having given accommodation bills, which the
parties had not paid. The insolvent said that at the time he gave his
acceptances he fully believed the parties would pay them, but ho had
been most shamefully deceived.
Mr. Commissioner Bowes, in strong terms, condemned the system
of accommodation bills, and expressed Ir's regret that he was
obliged so often to do so. No man who had any regard fur his success
in life would have anything to do with such a system. If the iiisol_
vent again obliged his friends, at the expense of the public, and again
came to the Court for its a•dstance within live years, the Court would
refuse to give it him. No man had a right to put his name to a bill
without it was his intention to honour it when it became due, and upon
a complaint being made by the bona fide holder of an accommodation
bill, the Court would, most assuredly, remand the offending party.

The insolvent was discharged.
It is a remarkable tact, but not more so than true, that nearly ene.
third of the cases coming beore the Court arise from the pernicious
system of accommodation bills, which the Learned Commissioners have
done all in their power to expose.
An unopposed insolvent applied on his petition to be discharged. The
circumstances under which he applied were rather singular. Ile had
been arrested sometime since by a pL,rson whom he charged with fe.
lone, who immediately upon the charge being made ran oil, and was
now living in America. The insolvent, who denied the claim of the
detaining creditor, gave bail, and now rendered in discharge.
Mr. Commissioner Bowen, considering that the singular circum-
stances of the case required further investigation, adjourned its consi-
deration to a future day.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

STEALING FRUIT IN COYENT-WAILDIN MASIMT.

Wvn. Richards was brought up by Blossett, a constable of Covent_
garden market, charged with stealin: a quantity of apples from under a
tarpaulin, the property of some person unknown.
The prisoner said he belonged to Hampstead parish, and he was com-
pelled to commit the offence, as he was starving.
Sir F. Roe ordered him to be sent to prison for fifteen days, and after-
wards to be passed to his parish.
A COLD LOOSING.— JVIn. Groves, Edward Berry, Alexander Calstone,
and John Sullivan, were found in a destitute condition, and sleeping
under the ♦delphi arches. Each of the prisoners s'id they had no
fixed place of residence, and they were ordered to be committed for
fifteen days.

ONH OP THE ORTHODOX.—John Roberts, a draper, was yesterday
taken into custody by 122 F division, who found him in a atate of in.
tosication in St. Giles's Church, disturbing the congregation, and re.
fusing to leave the place, saying he was as staunch a Protestant as any
man in England.

Sir F. Roe inquired was the prisoner troublesome to any of the congre.
ration P and being informed that he was not, ordered him to pay a fine
of five shillings for being drunk.
Denis Collins and Eduard Cha(field, soldiers if the Coldstream
Guards, at present quartered at Charing.cross Barrack., were charged
by Andrew Barnes, who stated that he was passing down Bedford-bury,
at eleven o'clock on the previous night, with a pipe in his mouth, and
•ue of the prisoners asked him for a smoke, which he refused. They
then crossed over, and Chatfield struck him in the eye, while the other
prisoner pushed him about. He gave no provocation, but said, " don't
in us• me ; I suppose you would destroy me if you had your bayonets."
Several of th• neighbours cried out it was a shame. The prisoners
denied the charge. The policeman corroborated the statement of the
complainant ; and after the sergeant acquainted the Magistrate that
the prisoners should have been in Barracks at nine o'clock, they were
ordered to pay a tine of 10s., or be sent to prison for fifteen days.
