THE BELLS OF ST. BOTOLPH.
A NEW YEAR'S NOTION.
'Twas New Year's Eve—the last of last December—
Between eleven and twelve, if I remember,
When merily the bells of Aldgate Church,
Told us the year had left us in the lurch ;
In other words, they rung with pleasing din,
The old year out, and then the new year in ;
And beint rather sleepy at the time,
I closed my eyes and dreamt about the chime.
I fancied I was taken, unawares,
Slap through the gates, and up the steeple stairs;
And having reached the bell loft in the steeple,
Methought the bells could talk like " other people."
The treble bell, while up and down it. swung,
First in the octave wagged its iron tongue :
" Brethren," said he, " excuse your little brother
In rising first—We understand each other.
I beg to drop a hint which you'll discuss,
Touching that mart which faces us;
The Warehouse osposite, we know full well,
Like Aldgat s steeple, long has ' borne the bell ;'
And certainly this year before it closes,
Should hear a first-rate peal in praise of MOSES."
" That's right," said Number Two, " we can't do less,
On looking at their quality in
DRESS.
A very au., Stlggestion. urother Treble.
And one which we'll adopt vett-sit a quluole.
MOSES and SON a merry peal shall hear,
For what they've done in trade the by-gone year.
Ring ! Brothers, ring ! do justice with your clappers,
To Dress-coats, Frock-coats, Trowsers, Vests, and Wrappers."
" Well done," said Number Three, " you're coming out ;
I quite agree with what you've talked about,
Much might be said in praise 01 this and that Mart,
But I'm inclined to touch upon
THE lIAT MART.
MOSES in Hats and Caps are truly' cappers,'
And hence we'll advertise them with our clappers."
" Decidedly we will,' said Number F ur,
" 11l lend a hand to publish such a store ;
Nor do I think that any will refuse
To ring the changes on
THE BOOTS AND SHOES.
From what we view, on looking from our steeple,
MOSES' prime Shoes are valued by the people."
This was responded to by Number Five,
Who felt assured that MOSES still would thrive.
And in addition hoped they'd nor demur,
In giving one round peal for
MOSES' FUR.
" You need not be afraid," said Number Six,
Our peals of praise shall shake these stones and bricks;
And, doubtless, we shall all of us agree
In praising MOSES'
FIRST CLASS HOSIERY.
They've sold such famous goods throusheut the year,
That really we are bound to applaud them here.
" MOSES' PRI SE OURFITS,"
Said the last but one,
An equal credit to the Mart have done."
" Well," said the Tenor, " I am pleased to know
That all my brothers value MOSES so.
I quite agree with all of you, and, therefore,
We'll set to work without a why or wherefore."
Then off they went, quite glorying in their theme,
And I awoke and found it was a dream.

single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
et caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
romprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justicedereand that health sheuldiorm an item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CIILVERWELL'S little

for the closet perusal of these more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on

OVE is the leading feeling of the human
breast. Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
!ervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilmen6 of every engagement, snap the very con-
tracrasunder which should be naost binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
imtituted by Divine Law for tke fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
.natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
BAIL COURT, Jan: 11.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius.)
LANE V. CLARKE.

Mr. Corrie was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Brown for the defendant.

This was an action upon an agreement in the following
terms:—" I (the defendant) admit that you have given
me value, as agreed, on my bill on my brother, Sir
Simon Clarke, for 5001., at three months'; and, in con-
sideration that you have discounted the bill, I agree that
if the same be not paid at maturity I will pay you in-
terest upon the amount at and after the rate of 401. per
cent. per annum from the time it shall have been due
until the date of payment; and, if you sue me thereon, I
authorise Mr. Robson to enter an appearance for me, in
order to obtain a judgment against me in the Court of
Queen's Bench." The plaintiff was an attorney, to
whom this agreement was given; he was in the habit
of discounting bills at the rate of 401. per cent., and
this agreement was in his common form. The de-
fendant was in the army, but was now in the
Queen's Prison ; his father was a man of large
wealth in West Indian property; but, in consequence of
the loss of that property, the defendant and his brother
got into difficulties. The bill was discounted by the
plaintiff, but in what manner did not appear. It became
due in September, 1844, and it was dishonoured. On
the 16th of July, 1846, the 5001 was paid, together with
481. 18.. 11d. for interest at 5 per cent. and expenses.
The action was now brought to recover 3271. 18s. 5d.,
being interest at 401. per cent. per annum upon the bill
between the time of its dishonour and payment.
Mr. BROWN, on the part of the defendant, took seve-
ral technical objections, and was addressing the jury
upon the hardship of such a case, when he wasinter-
rupter) by.
Mr. Justice ERLE, who stated that his opinion was
very strong respecting contracts. All persons were at
liberty to make any contracts they chose, and a party
who had entered into one had no right afterwards to say
that it was a very hard one, and ask a jury to state that
it was a very imprudent thing for any man so to have
contracted. If the defendant had made an agreement
and had broken it, it was not a question for the jury how
much he ought to pay; but it was their duty to give the
40/. per cent. per annum which he had agreed the plaintiff
should receive.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 11.
(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE and
Justices MAIILE, CRESSWELL, and WILLIAMS.)
EX PARTE TAYLOR. _ _

Mr. Sergeant BYLES applied on behalf of a married

woman named Taylor, for the authority of the Court
under the Fines and Recoveries Act (3d and 4th Wm.
IV., chap. 74, sec. 91), to enable her to sign a deed of
conveyance of certain freehold property in the absence of
her husband, on the ground that she slid not know the
place of his residence, or whether he was alive or dead.
It appeared from the affidavits on which the Learned
Counsel founded his application that Mrs. Taylor was
married to her husband in March, 1845, and that soon
afterwards he sailed for Honduras as a seaman in the
Demerara packet, and that she had only heard twice
from him after he had sailed, the last time being in the
early part of 1846. That she had since been informed
that he had died in Jamaica of the yellow fever in the
early part of 1847, and had been thrown overboard. On
these grounds she applied for the permission of their
Lordships to enable her to execute the conveyance.
It appeared, however, that the affidavit did not state
when she had heard of her husband's death, or from
whom she had heard it, and
The COURT thought that in this respect this affidavit
was insufficient. On this ground their Lordships re-
fused the application, but gave the Learned Counsel
leave to amend his affidavit when the applicant should
have made further inquiries, and then Ao renew the ap-
plication.
The Court rose at twelve o'clock.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 11.
(Sittings in Banco.)
PEREMPTORY PAPER.--BROWN V. YARDLEY.
This was a motion arising out of an action of seduc-
tion, in which the plaintiff, being the aunt of the girl,
sought to recover compensation for the loss of her
niece's services as her servant. At the trial before Sir
F. Pollock at Guildford, a verdict passed for the plaintiff
for 2001., and in last Michaelmas term this motion was
made for a new trial, on the ground that the jury had
been misled by the direction of the Learned Judge, and
induced to include in their damages certain, matters
which might more properly be the subject of proceedings
on the part of the niece, such as the obligation to sup-
port the child, and also the injury to the feelings of the
plaintiff. In the course of the motion a suggestion was
thrown out that the defendant would not object to the
verdict, if the plaintiff would consent to apportion the
damages between the niece and her infant.
_ _

Sergeat SHEE (with whom was Mr. C. Pollock)
now appeared for the plaintiff, and having stated that he
was willing to meet the defendant's views.
Some little discussion ensued, which resulted in an ar-
rangement to the effect—that 1001. should be settled on
the child, with a reversion to the niece at its death; that
50/. should be paid to the plaintiff, with all the costs of
the action and of this rule; and that the remaining 50/.
should be abandoned by the plaintiff.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS and Mr. SYMONS, on the part of the
defendant, expressed their consent to these terms, and
The rule was so moulded.

Coleman attended on behalf of the Bank of England,
the Governor and Company of which are the petitioning
creditors. Mr. Wright is accountant for the firm.
The fiat is dated December 19, 1848. The bankrupts
are thus described :—Patrick Cruckshank, John Mel-
ville, and William Fauntleroy Street, of Austinfriars,
carrying on business under the title of Cruckshank, Mel-
ville, and Co. Mr. Edwards is the official assignee.
Although the firm is designated in the fiat as if there
were but one failure, it in reality includes two—lhat of
Cruckshank, Melville, and Co., which stopped in 1845,
and that of Melville and Co., which was established
upon the cessation of the former, and continued to trade
up to the latter part of last year. The place of business
was in Austinfriars.

No balance-sheet has as yet been prepared, but our
reporter was informed upon competent authority that
the debts and liabilities of the joint estate amount to no
less a sum than 350,0001. The joint assets will be little
more than sufficient to pay the expenses of the fiat.
There will be, however, something realised from the
separate estates of Cruckshank and Street. The former
has, it appears, landed property in Scotland worth about
4,0001., but it is said that Lady Anne Cruckshank,
sister-in-law of the bankrupt, has an annuity chargeable
upon the estate, and that if her Ladyship be successful
in proving her claim the effect will be to absord nearly
the whole of her brother-in-law's private effects. The
creditors upon the joint estates would, however, derive
nothing from this source, as the separate debts and lia-
bilities of Patrick Cruckshank amount to a very large
sum. The separate estate of Melville is considerable,
but it is more than covered by the marriage settlement
of his wife. Some assets will be realized out of the sepa-
rate estate of Street;. .hut jhez...will,be. comparatively

The causes of failure are said to be thcrfailire of the'
large East India houses, and the depreciation in the
produce of the ,East and West Indies, in which they
chiefly dealt.

The Governor and Company of the Bank of England
proved to-day, through their solicitors, Messrs. James
and Charles Freshfield, for 4,1001. The debt arose in
this way—The bankrupts drew upon Messrs. Truman
and Cooke, of Mincing lane, for 8,2001.; the latter ac-
cepted the bill, which was cashed to the bankrupts by
the bank. One half of the debt was, however, paid by
the inspectors of the estate of Messrs. Truman and
Cooke, and the other moiety was established as a claim
upon the joint estate of these bankrupts. Mr. Elsey,
manager of the bank, signed the proof.
The whole amount of debts proved to-day was under
15,000/.
There was no opposition to the election of assignees,
and the following gentlemen were chosen :—John Green
Elsey, of the Bank of England ; Amery Hewitt Ken-
nard, of Lombard-street, banker ; and Thomas Browne,
of Philpot-lane, merchant.
IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF COE AND MANN.
The bankrupts, Richard Baldwin Coe and John
Raven Mann, who. were surveyors and lithographers,
carrying on business in Adam-street, Adelphi, came up
on the question of certificate.
The amount of debts due is 2,3001., of which 7611. are
secured. The capital was 1,0031. The profits are
5,9901. On the credit side the surplus of good debts
amounts to 1,914/.;:doubtful ditto, 1,1901.; property, 161;
1,5381. expenses, 1,574/.; trade ditto, 2,0491.
Amount drawn out by Mann, 2971.; ditto by Coe,
losses, 161.; law

Mr. Lawrence appeared in support of the bankrupts,
who passed.

IN THE BANKRTIPTCY OF JOHN EVANS.
The bankrupt was the proprietor of the Oriental
Hotel, inlrere-street. This was the certificate meeting.
Mr. LAWRANCE supported.
The debts were about 3,0001., the assets a mere trifle.
He bought the Oriental Hotel for 1,1001. about two
years ago, he being then insolvent, and sold it at the
commencement of last year for two-thirds of its cost.
The books were imperfectly kept, and the general aspect
of the trading, in the judgment of the Court, reckless
and imprudent.

The certificate was suspended for 12 months. Pro-
tection withheld for three months.

♦ THIRTY-ONE YEARS' PRISONER..---IN RE RICHARD

CAUDLIN.

In this case an applicatioliWa; made with regard to
the taxation of costs, with the view to facilitate the dis-
charge of this person, who had been in prison for thirty-
one years.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS expressed his astonish-
ment at the long imprisonment, and asked how it had
happened ?
Mr. LEWIS (Lewis and Lewis), who appeared for the
prisoner, said there had been a Chancery suit and de-
tainers for debt.

It was his own fault he had been so long in prison.
It appeared that he was originally in Montgomery
gaol, and in 1831 was committed to the Fleet, and when
that prison was closed, in 1842, removed to the Queen's
Prison. His original commitment was in 1817. Some
years ago a resting order was made, and an assignee
appointed, on which money was received ; and the
object of the application was to obtain the funds to pay
the detainers and to get the party out of custody.
Mr. LEWIS mentioned that it was the wish of Captain
Hudson, the Keeper of the Queen's Prison, to get rid of
the prisoner, and nothing could be done with the Chan-
cery proceedings until the detainers for debts were
satisfied. _ _

His lioxoun had no doubt the Keeper wished to get
rid of such a case. _ _

An arrangement was made between the solicitors to

THIRD FALLING-IN OF A TUNNEL NEAR GUILD-
FORD ON THE GODALMING BRANCH OF THE SOUTH-
WESTERN RAILWAY.--Yesterday morning, about ten
o'clock, an immense mass of chalk and earth fell in
within a short distance of the spots where the two pre-
vious ones took place, under St. Catherine's Hill, about
half a mile from the town of Guildford, and three miles
and a half from Godalming, by which several of the men
were buried under the same. Fortunately all were ex-
tricated but one poor fellow within an hour after the ac-
cident took place. About six o'clock in the evening the
poor man was extricated, very little hurt but much ex-
hausted. All the men who assisted in removing the
fallen-in earth had a supper and a quart of beer each
man at night.
THE LIN ENDRAPERS', SILK. MERCERS', LACEMBN'S
EIABERDASHERS', AND HOSIERS', INSTITUTIGN.--ThiS
institution, which has been established sixteen years, for
the relief of such persons engaged in any of the trades
as may be elected members, held its annual ball last
night at Willis's Rooms. Upwards of 400 persons as-
sembled, and expressed perfect satisfaction with the
arrangements of the stewards, who had secured the effi-
cient services of the proprietors of the rooms for the
refreshments. Mr. Adams appeared as leader of the
band, and Mr. Corrie resumed his office of master of the
ceremonies.
