QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

LIBEL ON MISS ELIZA COOK.
Sir F. THESIGEB applied to the Court to have the
ule nisi obtained in this ca,e made absolute against the
;,roprirtor of the Daily Advertiser.
After a long argument,
Lord DENMAN delivered the judgment of the Court,
It was their opinion. upon the discussion which they had
card, that it was not proved that it was intended to
libel ,hiss Elizi Co,lc. On a reasonable reading of the
iiaragraph, it was plain that there were two persons of
he name of Eliza CoA; one a supposed murderess, and
he other a poetess, and there was a distinction drawn
hat the poetess was nit enjoying the fame she ought to
njoy, while the other had obtained some celebrity. The
Court consid-red that the case should never have been
-card of Mr. Justice Wightman was too much lad by
he opinion of Mr. Martin, that if the rule were granted
t would never be heard of more.
Mr. Justice PATTESON concurred in the decision of
he Court; it was quite plain that there were two per-
.ons, and any reasonable person cou;d not fail to dis
,over that a distinction had been drawn between them.
An application was then made that the rule be dis-
!hareed with cost.
Mr. Justice I)ENMAN —Oh, no, you must write with
ore care in future.

(detore dlr. Coretnissioat.r GOULBURN.)
IN RE WIGIITMAN.
This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a
voollen dr.:p.a, at Colchester, came up to pass his last
•xamination.

It appeared from the balance sheet that the bankrupt
lad in January, 1843, a capital of 470/. On his exainina-
however, that this statement was
t two years before he had compounded
onnaciiot
usa,papseaarbel!,u,
.rich his creditors, and had obtained goods on credit.
His present debts and liabilities are about 6041. 19s. 7d.;
property, 70/.
His HoNoua said this was one of those cases in which,
.o prevent the punishment arising from beginning a
were adventure without capital, the accountants wade
,ut a spurious account commencing with a capital, and
;:his led to further fabrications—this, however, was
natter to be inquired into on the application for the
certificate.

Tile solicitor to the assignee said books and property
wid been secreted by a person in the employ of the
,moltrupt—this person, who had been examined, ad
,nitted the possession of the property, but before a search
•varrant could be sent down the go,his had been removed,
mid he refused to disclose where they were.
His HoNoun said that the bankrupt would never get
c4rtificate unless the property was given up, and he
would grant a search warrant for any place where it was
suspected the goods were.

ORSRIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Fanny IN, oble, a bomewhat genteel lookhig nymph of
he pave, was charged with stealing two sovereigns from
the person of a gentleman named Thomas White, of No.
8, Paradise-row, Bethnal-green.
Mr. Wrote, who said be possessed an independency,
deposed that he was last evening procet ding along the
iv( et near the monum-nt, when he met the prisoner,
.vho, accosting him, said that she had not tasted food
wring that nay. He gave her some money to procure
.ebst sbe so much needed, and he afterwards invited tier
a tavern. Subsequently, they repaired to a houselt O.
fame in Shoreditch, where they retired to bed. Ile,
however. was awoke at about three o'clock this morning
;)y a noise in the room, when he observed the prisoner
4 ending by the side of the bed, and his purse, which
had been previously in his trowsers pocket, lying upon
the seat of the chair, deprived somewhat of its " fair
proportions;" in fact, two or three sovereigns had been
:bstracted.

Sarah Wheeler, servant at the above house, stated
:hat she was awakened at about three o'clock this morn.
ng by her mistress, who told' her that some one- Wat,
.nileaVOUring to leave the house. She got up and found
:he prisoner trying to force the lock of the street-door.
She was ultimately given in charge to a police constable.
Police-constable Bricknall, 169 G, deposed to his
iiaving taken the prisoner into custody.
Acting-..Tnspector Tate said that when the prisoner
arrived at the station-house, she declai ed most solemnly
:hat a halfpenny was all she had in the world, but upon
tis telling her that she would undergo a strict examina-
:ton by the female searcher, she acknowledged that she
'iad two sovereigns concealed in her stays.
The prisoner, in answer to a question from Mr.
Combo (who sat for Mr. Broughton) said—" Sure she
'lad brought the sovereigns from Ireland, why should
she tell the jointleman' what she had got."
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.
The prosecutor signed the depositions with the
greatest reluctance, and did so only when he was told
4 Mr. Paine, the chief clerk, that if he did not, he must
find security for his appearance at the sessions.

other labourers at the entrance of the West India Dock,
waiting to be engaged, when the prisoner suddenly
jumped on his shoulders. Witness desired him to
desist, when he struck him a violent blow over the eye,
and followed it up by several others. Witness was quite
blinded by he blood that flo%ed, and was compelled to
.all out " Murder." The prisoner then tried to effect
his escape, and put on three different hats in order to
avoid deteetinn. but he was ultimately given into castody.
This evidence was corroborated by two men, named
Slater and Burton, who witnessed the assault.

TORNADO IN THE DANUBE.
The following is a copy of a letter receivel at Lloyd's:—
" Ou board the Gos4awk, Salina Mouth, River Danube,
May 21, 1847.
" Sir,—l write to inform you that at the hour of 2.50, P.M.,
4 most tart 16c tornado took place hare, the most violent that
I over witnessed in any part of the world. The first
commencement was a dark cloud in the N.W. quarter,
accompanied with flashes of vivid lightning at short intervals.
Vresently the cloud increased in magnitude and blackness,
and spread to the north and west. The direction of tne
wind at the time of its greatest violence was N. W.
The wind was accompanied by very heavy rain At
3.15 it raged with great fury, blowing the vessels'
stowed sails off the yards. and drove all the ships
on shore, where they received a deal of damage
from collision with each other. Neither chains nor
warps could withstand the violence of the squalls. Five
tbreign vessels capsized against the banks of the river. The
brig Mary Ann, of Suneerland, drove foul of the Galway
Packet, and caused some damage forward. The schooner
Orion drove foul of the Rutsian man•of-war and carried
away her yards. Theachuoner Olivia lost bowsprit, &c., by
a large Greek brig running foul of her. Four or six of the
iliotwrs were sunk; several hou.es unroofed, boats, bul-
warks. spars, &c. There are two vessels on shore outside
the bar—one an English schooner, which lies high and dry."
