COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

IN TUE MATTER OF MUNROE AND MUNROE.

The choice of assignees was deferred until Tuesday
the Bth of September next.

IN THE MATTER OF ALEXANDER CHRISTIE.

This was the day fixed for the choice of assignees in
the matter of this bankrupt, who was stated to be a
spirit merchant, carrying on business at Eastcheap, and
whose else has already acquired considerable notoriety
by the apprehension of two of his brothers, who were
managers of the Aberdeen Joint Stock Bank at Gols-
pie, and who had absconded, but were ultimately cap-
tured ky Forrester, on board the Iberia steamer, bound
for Gibraltar, having in their possession money (in so-
vereigns) to the amount of 500/.
The bankrupt, whose debts and liabilities are said to
he upwards of 17,000/., and his assets not one-seventh
of that sum, to-day attended in person, and attributed
his losses to his connection with his brothers, to whom
he had given a bill of sale, under which his effects were
seized in execution ; but the validity of the bill of sale
was not entered into, as, at the request of the solicitors
to the fiat, the Learned Commissioner granted a pri-
vate meeting, at which a searching examination into the
whole of the bankrupt's very suspicious affairs will be
instituted.

Mr. Matthews, of Ratcliffe, who proved for a debt tx
upwards of 7001., was chosen assignee.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

Charles Green, 23, and Frances Green, 20, were in-
dicted for stealing a quantity of wearing apparel and
other property, oeionging to Mr. Arstrop, the landlord
of the King's Arms public-house, Gray's Inn-lane.
Mr. RYLAND conducted the prosecution. It appeared
from the evidence that the male prisoner had been in
the habit of visiting the house of the prosecutor, and he
was there in company with the female on the morning of
the 26th of June, and after he was gone the property
was missed. Shackell, the late Bow-street officer, but
who has since been appointed an Inspector of the Me-
tropolitan Police, was employed to investigate the
matter, and he proceeded to a house in Whiting-street,
in the Waterloo-road, on the 29th of June, and he there
found the prisoners, and took them into custody, and
upon searching the room, the greater portion of the
stolen property was found, and also some skeleton keys,
and a duplicate for another portion of the stolen articles,
which, it appeared, had been pledged by a female.
The male prisoner made a long and ingenious ad-
dress to the jury, in which he declared that the stolen
property had been brought to his lodgings by a man
named Stewart, who had afterwards given information
to the police from a motive of revenge.
The jury found both prisoners guilty, and they were
called up for judgment.
The male prisoner implored the Court, that whatever
sentence they might pass upon him, they would be lenient
to his unfortunate companion, who had been brought
into her present miserable condition by her connection
with him.

Mr. Baron GURNEY said that his appeal on behal
of the unhappy woman was the only redeeming point in
his favour, for a more cool and impudent thief than he
was, he (Mr. Baron Gurney) had never met with in his
experience.

A previous conviction for felony having been proved
against the male prisoner, be was sentenced to be trans-
ported for life, and the female for fourteen years.
The female fainted upon hearing the sentence, and
was carried insensible out of the Court.

There were seven or eight other indictments against
:he prisoners for offences of the same description.

.NEW COURT.

IRISH ALL OVER.—Patrick Ruvane, an Irishman,
was indicted for assaulting, wounding, and biting John
Mulvin, on the 30th July last.
Mr. PHILLIPS appeared for the defence.
John Mulvin, a very loquacious Patlander, stated the
nature of the assault, and the principal part of his griev-
ance was that the defendant had bitten off part of his
ear. He denied that he had ever assaulted the prisoner
by touch, word, or deed, before the assault was com-
mitted. The witness entered into a long rhodomontade
of matters which had no connection with the matter
under consideration, and every consecutive question was
answered evasively ; at length the COMMON SERGEANT
said he would give him up.
Mr. PHILLIPS subjected the prosecutor to a rigid
cross-examination.

The prosecutor deelared positively that he never
touched the prisoner so as to excite his violence, as he
had a witness to prove.
Mr. PHILLIPS.—WeII, your witness will be called,
and you will hear what she will say about you. Were
you sober at the time ?
Prosecutor—By my faith I was.
Bridget Gallaghan deposed that she saw the " scrim-
mage," and believes Patrick bit John's ear.—(Alaugh.)
Mr. PHILLIPS-Arid he spat it out again, I believe ?
Witness—l believe be did.

Was Mulvin sober ?—Not quite, Sir.
Which of the two struck the first blow ?—John
Mulvin (the prosecutor). He gave Patrick a hard
thump en the back when he was going into a shop
to buy a loaf, and turned up his shirt-sleeves to fight,
and said, "If you are a man, come out." He gave h;m
a very hard blow, and I think Patrick was the worst.
Are you any relation to the prisoner ?—Patrick and
John are both my second cousins, if you plaze to call
that a relation.--(Laughter.) I am sure that Patrick
did not swallow the piece of ear.
The policeman who apprehended the prisoner was
then called, when his speech betrayed that he was an
Irishman.

The COMMON-SERGEANT observed that eight-tenths
of the police were Irish.

Mr. PHILLIPS—Yes, we ara Irish all over ; it would
spoil the' case had we an Englishmen mixed up with it.
—(Laughter.)
The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr. Phil-
lips indulged in a mouthful of humour. He said his
Lordship appeared indignant that so many of the police
were Irishmen—natives of his (Mr. P.'s) country. One
reason, he believed, was that there could be found no
efficient persons from the principality, of Wales to take
care of the persons and property of Englishmen.—
( Laughter.) He (Mr. P.) begged to remind his Lord-
ship that the two principal Commissioners of the Metro-
politan Police were Irishmen also.—(Continued laugh-
ter.) With regard to the present charge, it stood that
the athletic prosecutor insulted and goaded the aged
defendant to fight him ; and his own witness had proved
that he was the aggressor.

The Jury, without hesitation, acquitted the prisoner,

CIVILISATION IN DENHOLME

On Monday week the inhabitants of Denholme held
their annual feast, at which they afforded, according to
usual custom, a great many specimens of their extreme
politeness and good breeding, especially in their marked
attention to strangers. Amongst others who were ho-
noured with compliments of this description, were two
fruiterers from Keighley, who are in the habit of visit-
ing the different feasts and fairs for the disposal of
their goods. After experiencing a number of rude in-
civilities during the day, such as pushes with sticks, the
throwing of heavy stones amongst their fruit, and
occasionally the violent pressure of the legs and arms
of the inhabitants against their stalls and persons,
with the intention of overturning them, one of the fruit-
erers struck with his stick at a boy who had taken an
active part in the proceedings. This act of self-defence
was quite sufficient as an excuse for commencing regu-
lar hostilities, and a body of the natives, to the number
of 000, armed with sticks and stones. immediately began
a general attack with all the fury and desperation of a
tribe of Indian savages. The leader of the party, who
was lately implicated in the death of a man, by kicking
him with his clogs, seized the galloway belonging the
fruiterers, while the remainder of his followers com-
menced pitching stones amongst the fruit, and occa-
sionally aiming blows with sticks at their persons. O❑
finding themselves in the hands of such desperadoes,
and fearful that their lute might be similar to that of the
poor fellow alluded to, one of the fruiterers begged
piteously that they would spare their lives. This appeal
for mercy producinga momentary respite from the attacks
of the natives, the men luckily made a spring with the
galloway, and succeeded in just clearing a heavy
showers of stones, which fell lit their heels. Amongst
the persons who took an active part in this rational
amusement, were a great number of what may be called
the respectable inhabitants of the village, consisting of
shopkeepers, Sunday-school teachers, and others, several
of the latter setting a worthy example to their pupils, by
stripping to the shirt and trousers, and challenging battle
to their victims. About the only stranger who escaped,
more or less, these attacks, was a dealer in fruit, who
had taken up his situation in a barn, the walls of which
proved his best defence. It might appear that the nu-
merous Missionary Societies who have been under the
necessity of carrying their labours abroad for want of
work at home, have overlooked Denholme, and it would
certainly be quite proper for that description of perse-
vering individuals to send a few there, instead of spend-
ing so much of their strength and labour on the more
civilized inhabitants of New Zealand and the Coast o
Africa.—Leeds Times.

AFFECTING INCIDENT.—Soine days ago as
the proprietor of a menagerie was proceeding from Ayr to
Greenock, a part of his cavalcade missed their way, and
got upon a country road near West Kilbridc, where a rivu-
let had to be forded, there being no bridge. With this
section of the party, there was a valuable brood mare, with
a foal at her feet. The rivulet to be crossed was rather
flooded by recent rains, and in attempting to pass, the
foal was carried away by the currant. In a minute or two
the mare missed her foal, and on looking back saw it
struggling in the stream. With that strong natural af-
fection which Providence has implanted in animals for the
preservation of their young, she rashcd in to the rescue,
but, as mpy be supposed, she could give no effectual aid.
On the contrary, she herself was swept along, and soon
became so much entangled with some poles stretched across
as a fence, that she was unable to extricate herself. and her
life was thus sacrificed to her feelings of maternal tender-
ness.—Pai.sley Advertiser.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSIO.AWIOUSE.
A few days ago Mr. Ilincheliffe, of the house of
Hincheliffs and Co., paper-stainers, of Golden-square,
applied to the Lord Mayor, under the following extra-
ordinary circumstances. He was accompanied by Mr.
Waite, his solicitor.
A bill, purporting to be drawn by Hinchcliffe and
Co., for the sum of 1081. 125., and made payable at a
banking house in which that firm did not keep cash,
was presented for payment there. The circumstance soon
reached the ears of Messrs. Hinchcliffe, who, knowing
nothing whatever of the bill, which, by-the-bye, hap-
pened to be drawn in a most slovenly manner, took im-
mediate steps to ascertain what was meant by so re-
markable an incident. They soon found that the bill
was in the hands of a gentleman of the name of Ste-
phens, of No. 7, Old Broad-street, who had discounted
it for a Mr. Davis, and who wrote to them, stating
that he had it in his possession, and requested payment.
Mr. Stephens exhibited tie bill, upon examining which
Mr. Hinchcliffe and his solicitor came to the justice-
room, and detailed the facts to the Lord Mayor, who
immediately sent for the holder of the bill, and the indi-
vidual who bad turned it into money.
Mr. Davis, it appeared, was not at home when the
messenger called at his address.
Mr. Stephens attended and produced the bill, which
was about as dissimilar to a bill that was likely to issue
from so respectable a house as that of Messrs. Hinch-
liffe's is known to be, as can be imagined. He stated
that Mr. Davis applied to him for cash for the bill, and
he gave- the accommodation.
The LORD MAYOR—And, Mr. Hinchliffe, you say
the bill is a forgery ? Mr. Hinchliffe—Most decidedly ;
and how any man
of business, without making inquiry,
could have taken it. is astonishing.
The LORD MAYOR-4 certainly never saw so clumsy
an article.
Mr. Stephens—l have been in the habit of discount-
ing for Mr. Davis, and I cashed this bill on account of
my knowledge of the respectability of Messrs, Hinch-
liffe. I certainly was struck with the slovenly manner
in which it was drawn, but I never for a moment sus-
pected that there was anything incorrect about it.
Mr. Waite asked whether Mr. Stephens had seen
Mr. Davis since it was stated that the bill was a for-
gery ? Mr. Stephens—Mr. Davis called at my house,
and requested that I would not send Mr. Hinchliffe
notice of the non-payment of the bill, and in my absence
80/. was left with my clerk, for which credit is given on
the hill. I d ire say I should have been paid the re-
mainder by this time, if it had not been for this exposure.
The LORD MAYOR asked Mr. Hinchliffe whether he
was acquainted with Mr. Davis ? Mr. Hinchliffe re-
plied
that Mr. Davis occasionally executed orders for
them connected with their business.

Mr. Stephens—l did not hesitate to discount the
bill, but I refused to withhold the notice from Mr.
Hinchliffe that it was dishonoured.

The LORD MAYOR—It is certainly a very extraordi-
nary proceeding altogether.

Mr. Waite—My client feels greatly annoyed and in-
dignant. Independently of the detection of the forgery,
he feels strongly, for he cannot tell but that other for-
geries may have been sent about the town.
The LORD Ma-volt—lt does not appear, at all events,
that it was the intention of Mr. Davis to defraud. But
this is a strange way of getting money.
His Lordship postponed the subject until Mr. Davis
should make his appearance, and directed that Mr.
Hobler should detain the bill until all parties should
come before him.

Yesterday Mr. Davis appeared, accompanied by a
solicitor,

The LORD MAYOR--Are any of the other parties
here ?

Mr. Hobler said that Mr. Stephens hadisent a letter
to the Mansion-house on Saturday stating that he had
no //barge to make against Mr. Davis, from which it was
of course to be inferred that the whole of the money
was paid.

The other parties were then called, but no answer was
returned.

Mr. Davis's solicitor applied for the bill, which was
in Mr. Hobler's possession, as the amount had been
handed over to Mr. Stephens.
Mr. Hobler advised the Lord Mayor not to part with
the bill by any means.

The LORD MAyoft—Certainly not. Although the
bill has been paid, the payment does not do away with
the original act. This bill is not Messrs. Hinchcliffe's:
They know nothing about it.
Mr. Davis's solicitor—We do not admit that it is a
forgery.

The LORD MAYOR—I shall certainly not part with
't, and dare say that Mr. Hinchliffe will make more stir
in the matter.

Mr. Davis's solicitor—lt is paid, my Lord, at any rate.
The Loan MAYOR—I consider that you are still
amenable, Mr. Davis, notwithstanding Mr. Stephens's
letter, and shall expect that you will come here if
Messrs. Ilinchliffe should proceed further.
Mr. Davis—Certainly, my Lord, I shall attend moat
readily.
A gentleman soon afterwards appeared from Mr.
Stephens's office in Great Broad-street, to inform his
Lordship officially that that gentleman had no charge
to bring against Mr. Davis, and that he had received a
settlement of the bill.

Mr. Waite, Messrs. Hinchliffe'a solicitor, after the
disposal of the case, entered the Justice-room, accom-
panied by Mr. Hinchliffe, junior, and said he had re-
ceived the notice to attend at so late an hour that he
was not able to come prepared to lay all the particulars
before the Lord Mayor at the time appointed for bear-
ing the case. He was, however, ready then, if the ac-
cused party was in attendance.
A messenger was immediately sent for Mr. Davis,
but not having returned within Justice•room hours, the
case was postponed.
Stephen Bailey, who keeps billiard rooms, was charged
by a policeman with having allowed gambling in his
house on Sunday evening.

The pol;ceman stated that he went early in the even-
ing into the house and saw persons playing billiards,
and cautioned the proprietor against permitting play on
the Sabbath. At a later hour, however, he found
several more persons at play, and at two tables.
Mr. Hobler, jun. (for the defendant)—Had you any
authority in writing with. you, or had ou your superin-
tendent with you Policeman—Noy
Mr. Hobler, jun.—Then you committed a trespass.
The house is not licensed. It is a private house, and
you had no right to enter.

The policeman admitted that the housa was not a
puEie-house.
The LORD MAYOR—Did you see any money pass ?
Po iceman—No, my Lord.

The LORD IsilnYoß--Perhaps the policeman was
rather hasty. Mr. Bailey, if you keep these billiard-
rooms for play it is your occupation, and it is not
decent to carry it on on Sundays. It is not at all
proper to hear the noise of the knocking about of balls
on the Sabbath.
Bailey said he was not aware that there was any im-
propriety in allowing a little play for exercise, but pro-
mised that it should not be repeated.

correct, that it is the intention of the Directors to open

to be finished at Bishopton, and this little gap can easily

MARKET and CITY NEW

(MONDAY EVENING.)
H NIC L E.---Th 0 intelligence of the insurrec-
tion in Lisbon on the 11th instant, which appeared this
morning in a second edition of the Chronicle, has not
lid an unfavourable influence on Portuguese Stock.
Toe suspension of the constitution and of the liberty of
the press are certainly strong measures, and more than
a mere insurrection in Lisbon, so easily put down, would
propabiy warrant ; but it is supposed the Chambers
were aware that the conspiracy had extensive ramifica-
tions, and private letters say that the events which had
taken place, if judiciously managed by the Government,
would add much to their stability and power in the
Chambers.

The Barbadoes Liberal of the 11th July mentions
that the labourers on Mount Wilton estate had re-
ceived no less a sum than 7,0551., being the amount of
a legacy bequeathed to them by Reynolds A. Ellcock,
Esq., their former master, by his will, dated in the year
1820, in virtue of the following clause
" I order and direct, that, as soon after my death as
possible, stone wadi and shingled dwelling-houses shall
be erected on my property, Mount Wilton, and that
every adult labourer shall be furnished with a bedstead,
crib, pots, and pan, and that on the Ist of each and
every June they shall receive 5/. in money."
It affords a humiliating instance of the guilt of
which human nature is capable. to know that the return
which this generous man received for his munificence
was to be barbarously murdered by the instrumen-
tality and agency of three of his own people, assisted
by one belonging to a neighbour, who expiated their
crime upon the gallows. It is stated that Mr. Ellcock
had incautiously stated to a favourite boy on his estate
" that when he was dead ho would know what he had
done for him," and it was supposed that the cri-
minals had been actuated by a desire to anticipate
the benefit of their master's generosity. On his
death his property was found to be heavily encum-
bered, and various causes had intervened to post-
pone the realisation of his wishes, amongst which
was a reluctance, no doubt, to give effect to them, when
his kind intentions had met with such a cruel return.
The settlement had thus been delayed till the 29th of
April last, when the money was divided among all the
labourers of Mr. Ellcock, who were fifteen years of age
at the period of his death, which, according to the Li-
beral, must have taken place soon after the date of the
will. Mr. Ellcock declares in his settlement that the
reason which induced him to make the bequest was to
show his sense of the services of his people, by which
services he had risen in the world, and in return for
their exemplary conduct during the insurrection of 1816.
Putting out of view the melancholy catastrophe of his
death, the labourers are stated to have behaved in the
most exemplary manner.

TlMES.—Private letters from Lisbon contain some
further particulars respecting the late eineute. From
thum it appears that the respectable portion of the Sep-
tembrists were not implicated in it, but that it arose
merely from the endeavours of a few thoughtless indi-
viduals, not being of any note. The Duke of Pal-
mella was, it seems, alarmed at the disturbance, and
remained at the " Lisbon club," not considering himself
safe in his own palace, till the Spanish Minister called
for him and conveyed him safe to the embassy, where
he slept that night. At the time a secret agent of
the Court was sent about to see that all was safe and
quiet. The Marquis de Saldanha had declined his ex-
traordinary mission to Spain. While the proposal for
levying a duty of 600 reis per pipe on all wines grown
in the country, of whatever quality, was under discus-
sion, the following statement was laid before the Finance
Committee, to show the inexpediency of such a mea-
sure :—By this it appeared that 6 pipes of the common
wine grown near Oporto will yield 1 pipe of brandy ;
while it will require 8 pipes of Douro wine, 12 of the
Tras os Montes and some other wines up the Tagus,
10 of the common Termo wine, and 16 of that in the
neighbourhood of Guimaneros to produce the same
quantity.

The Guiana papers contain a petition to the Governor
from several merchants, who viewed with apprehension
the approaching expiration of the Act levying the Colo-
nial import duty, as well as that levying the duty on
rum. The danger of their position consisted in their
being holders of large stocks of goods on which they
had paid the duty. The Governor, in his reply, stated
that the financial resources of the Province had been so
productive, that even the sudden interruption to the
raising of the ordinary ways and means had not sufficed
to obstruct the Government in any essential operations.
He assured the petitioners that he did not underrate the
embarrassments which they would feel, but at the same
time said that there were other interests to be considered
and that the great body of consumers would not be
injured by the cheapness of the market. Hence, not
feeling justified in renewing taxes to be borne exclu-
si,ely by the general consumer, the Governor de-
clined acceding to the prayer of the petitioners. He
observed, at the same time, that the Combined Court
having refuse :1 to proceed with the estimate, no objects
for taxation could be c-mstitutionally appropriated till
after the 31st of December next. On the 30th of June
the last tax ordinance actually expired, and the state of
things has arisen which was dreaded by the merchants,
for the Combined Court having refused to vote the
supplies for 1840, except on a condition with which the
Executive could not comply, it was not summoned to
renew the annual imposts.

POST.—The Rio Government propose to increase
the charge of rent on the Customs warehouses to 1 per
cent, per month at the expiration of four months'
time ; to reduce the duty on coin exported per cent. ;.
and to increase the port duties on some articles 5 to
10 per cent., for which an opportunity will offer at the
termination of the existing commercial treaties—namely,
with the United States, Nov. 17, 1840: the Hanse
Towns, April 18, 1841 ; and Great Britain, Nov. 15,
1840. The increase in wine duties, from 15 to 48i
per cent., was found to have been followed by a decrease
of revenue.

With regard to mining affairs in the Brazils, Mexico,
Szc., we find that from the Imperial Mine of Brazil the
accounts are of much the same tenour as those last re-
ceived. The question of giving up the 20,000/. deposit
made to the Government by the Company was not yet
settled, but the agent was still in hopes of a favourable
result. From the United Mexican Mine the returns
show a slight filling off in the workings, but the condi-
tion of the mines was nevertheless such as to promise
better things. A sum of 80,000 dollars (about 6,0000
was to be sent to England by the ensuing packet. Pri-
vate letters de not give a flattering view of the trade
and general state of the country.
It will disappoint the Mexican bondholders to learn
that only from 2,000 to 3,000 dollars, on account of
the dividends, are remitted. The Treasury certificates
continued, however, to be duly honoured at the Cus-
tom-houses of the Republic.

HERALD.—The improving state of the funds no-
ticed at the close of Saturday's market has been not
only maintained but the quotations have advanced.
This partial recovery will teed to facilitate the adjust-
ment of the account on the 27th for those speculators
who have opposed the fall, although from the threaten-
ing and declining appearance of the market on many oc-
casions there is no doubt that some considerable pro-
portion of the bull accounts may already have been
sold out and arranged by those speculators who saw
cause for alarm in the events of the day and the pros-
pects before them.

Private letters from Paris continue to betray much
un.2asiness in respect of the settlement of the account
on the Bourse there, which takes place this week, not
last, na from rather a loosely constructed sentence
under this head this morning might be apprehended.
The differences yet to be adjusted are so enormous,
as the dealings have been so extensive, that if any con-
siderable failures, or even failure, should occur, it might
create a perfect revolution in affairs, and those now on
the successful side, that is, the speculators for the fall,
would have their accounts and calculations so deranged,
that instead of being gainers, with large balances to re-
ceive, they might have them to pay. For parties in
default and not able to take their stock would leave
them with the stock on hand, or to take from
those from whom purchased against previous time
sale, so that. their position would be reversed, and
instead of " hears " with heavy per centages of
fall 'prices in their favour, thsy would perforce
became " bulls " full of stock, unsaleable ex-
cept at a heavy depreciation from the prices at which
before bought and fruitlessly sold. So strong were the
apprehensions entertained that the Company of Stock-
brokers, a peculiarly privileged class, had come to a re-
solution that a general settlement should be operated
this month, and no accounts be continued, or carried
over, to September. The effects of a forced liquida-
tion of this kind may be readily comprehended. The
difficulty indeed it was thought would not be so pecu-
liarly embarrassing in regard of the French funds, but
with the extensive transactions in shares and foreign
stocks it was likely to be attended with very great de-
