INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—(Tins DAY.)

James Deacon, late of Gloucester-court, St. James's-street,
carpenter, cause up to claim his discharge, which no creditor
oppost.d. It appeared, however, on examining the insolvent'a
schedule, that he was discharged in 1823, and that his present
insolvency was attributed to becoming bail for a man who was
apprehended from one of the notorious gambling-houses in St.'
James's : hence arose, as the insolvent stated, through the
neglect of the attorney, considerable expence, and eventually
his (insolvent's) recogpizances were ordered to be estreated.—
The Con we declares hat he had no right whatever to become
bail for any person, he well knowing at the time he offered
himself that he was imposing upon the Magistrates before
whom he had thought proper to appear, and ordered the case
to stand over generally for insolvent to obtain the consent of of his creditors.

Printed notices are now circulating about Ken-
sington, setting forth that--Whereas, divers wasiterwarnen,
laundresses, &c., are in the habit of using deleteriously made
soap, or some chemical preparation, for the purpose of getting
clothes clean more speedily than can be accomplished by comnion
soap, and the ordinary means of good deal drubbing ; and that
such composition occasions swellings of the hands, arms, &e.,
whereby the poor women who wash for the several laundresses and
washer-woman, using this pernicious preparation, are frequently
soon unable to work, and thus often become chargeable to the
parish. The Trustees of the Poor therefore warn all persops
who may have adopted the use of such composition henceforth
to abstain from its further use; and they add, that if such
warning be not observed, they shall be compelled to try whether
there may not be legal means of enforcing its disuse.—(He-
raid.)
MELAINICIIOLT.OOCUrtnErscts.—On Wednesday
a most distressing scene occurred in sight of many persons nt
Minehead and the coast adjacent. A brig from America,
bound for Bridgewater, hove in sight, anti hoisted signal for a
pilot. Two boats, .well manned, immediately put off from
Minehead pier; in one of which was a well known pilot,'
ntogether with John Webber and.
four other Georgetherperson'Ns.eedslt, then blew a tremendous gale from
the south-west. When their boat got without about two
miles of the brig, and the same distance from the shore.
between Jlurdstone Point and Green-lay, she capsized,
and Neols and Webber were drowned.. Two of the other
men swam to the other boat, anti two remained on the raft
for a considerable time, and they were at length provi-
dentially saved.—Needs was in about half an hour after-
wards found floalito within a few yards from the spot",
where the boat capsized, and was brought ashore a corpse ;

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY

Extracts from the Morning Papers) Oct. O.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
We yesterday stated that the victory ascribed
to the Greeks, at Samos, had now become so cer-
tain that no doubt could reasonably exist on the
subject. We find that the holders of Greek
Scrip are of the same opinion. Yesterday, in the
course of the day, the Greek Securities rose ra-
pidly and steadily, and seine sales were made so
high as 7 per cent. above what they had been
prier to the intelligence. This is of importance,
as the Greek Funds have for the most part
passed from the hands of the great capitalists of
the City into those of the public at large, and
consequently are not liable to sudden and unex-
pected fluctuations from every vague rumour,
which they would have been in the hands of
those who made a trade of money-jobbing.—
There has been no additional news from Greece
to-day ; but any further accounts of the success
of the Christian cause, must necessarily produce
corresponding rise in the Securities of the Gre-
cian Patriots.

We had lately occasion to advert to the
crooked and short-sighted policy of our neigh-
bours and allies, the Dutch, in making a code of
commercial regulations, which virtually excludes
the trade of this country from their colonies in
the East. IVe are glad to learn from a gentle-
man who has lately left Holland, that upon the
faith of this most unwarrantable enactment, the
merchants of Rotterdam and Amsterdam have
already fitted out no less than twelve vessels for
Batavia. We have no doubt that (;corn the quan-
tity of European goods which must already have
been thrown into the Japanese market, the
owners of these ships will suffer severely ; and
va have no hesitation in confessing that we most
heartily rejoice at the prospect of their losses.
A nation which can be induced, from the hopes
of commercial advantage, to break through every
moral obligation, deserves to suffer, both indi-
vidually and collectively ; and the sooner adver-
sity teaches the Dutch Government that they
cannot practice injustice, and the Dutch merchant
that he cannot take advantage of the injustice
of his Government, with impunity, the better
both for themselves and the rest of the world.—

[NM TIM Es.]
Further intelligence from South America is
looked for daily through the medium of the New
York packet, whose arrival has been once or
twice prematurely announced. The prevalence
of the wind from the southward and eastward,
for the last several days, has been the probable
cause of her being beyond the usual period.—
By this arrival not only is expected intelligence
of a decisive character relative to the two con-
tending armies of Canterac and Bolivar, but also
further information respecting Santana, in regard
to wfiose reported defection there exists a lively
interest. Yesterday there was no arrival from
that or any other quarter of the slightest
general interest. The Funds experienced u
trifling variation yesterday, but the ma-
jority of the most experienced individuals
appear to calculate very confidently upon the
prices improving from the great increase of
capital which may reasonably be expected to
lied its way into the market within a short space
of time. The Quarter's Revenue ending the 10th
instant, is said to be favourable, so far as an opi- '
nion can be formed from the present state of the
Returns.—Consols opened at 9542-, and closed
at 95a, and for the Hew Account, 96.—1 n Fo-
reign Securities, the fluctuations were confined.
The French Reines maintain the price of 102.
50. for purchases made here ; and the Scrip,
11 per cent. premium. Neapolitan Bonds were
done at 911 ;. and Austrian, Prussian, and Rus-
sian support their prices. The Greek Loan has
experienced an advance of from 5 to 6 per cent.
hich is naturally to be accounted for from the
reported successes of the Greeks at Samos ; of
these, however, there is as yet no positive and
detailed confirmation, though there is probably
some foundation for the statements which have
been ciicrliated. Mexican Bonds were at 59 :
and Colombian Scrip at eight discount.
