COCHINEAL.—On the part of holders there is more
firmness, and they supply the market less freely, but
privately there are at present few purchasers for home
consumption or exportation. At public sale 7 bags of
Honduras went at 4s lld to 5s 3d for middling to good
silvers being the full value. Fur auction 160 bags are
declared. The stock is smaller than it was last year,
and the deliveries ate greater, whilst prices are as low.
Tie arrivals, however, are much larger than they were
in 1846 up to this time.
FRlllT.—Currants are still wanted, and of old large
parcels have been sold, Zante and Cephalonia at 40s,
and Patras at 38s. to 40s. New are wanted, fine Patras
at 455, on the part of merchants there is firmness.
Valentia Raisins have been operated in with cau-
tion, owing to the high rate of 50s being
still asked for new, and the supply is on the increase.
Muscatels are only in moderate demand at 60s to 755,
Sultanas 70s. New Turkey pulled Figs are in demand
at 60s to 70s. New Jordan Almonds sell slowly at 101
lOs to 11/. The accounts received from Malaga of the
destruction of a great portion of the new crop, caused
holders of old to advance their prices 4s to 5a per cwt.
Chesme Raisins are firm. . . .

Oils.--In the value of Fish Oils little variation has
taken place since our last report, and the arrivals have
been unimportant. On the part of holders there is firm-
ness, and the market has been again moderately sup-
plied. In Seal purchases to a fair extent have been
made upon the following terms :—pale at 281 lOs to 29/,
straw 28/, yellow 251 105 to 261 lOs, and brown 241 10s
to 251. Cod met with a good demand, and is with
difficulty to be obtained under 28/4 Southern of all kinds
is wanted, and the parcels disposed of by private
treaty were at fully former rates, whilst at auction 40
tuns found buyers at 241 103 to 271 103 for low to fine.
For Sperm a good demand has been experienced, and
the prices obtained have been 84/ to 861 for fair to fine
quality. On the part of holders there is firmness, and
they supply the market less freely. At public sale 6 tuns
found buyers—good quality at 84/, low and very low'7o/
to 801 per tun, and the value of headmatter is 851 to 871.
The home trade continue to be almost the exclusive
purchasers of Fish Oils. There is less demand for
Olive, and merchants are not so firm, only a limited
business has been concluded. Gallipoli at 481 to 48/ 10s;
Spanish and Sicily 461 lOs to 47110 s; Barbary, Levant,
and Portugal 44/ 103 to 46L The deliveries, however,
still exceeding the arrivals. For Linseed the home
demand has been good, whilst shippers have been pur-
chasers to a fair extent, and the rates paid on the spot
have been 26s 6d to 26s 9d.
TALLow.—For Russian prices have not much im-
proved, but on the part of the home trade more desire
has been manifested to operate. On the spot a good
demand has been experienced, and 46s 6d to 46s 9d have
been the rates obtained for fine new P. Y. C.
At auction 129 casks of old went at 45s 6d
to 45s 9d for first quality, 50 casks of Odessa Ox
45s 9d, and 25 casks of Archangel 43s 9d to 455. For
ferward delivery many contracts have been entered into
at 45a 6d for P. Y. C. Rome-made sells more freely at
47s to 48s net cash. All other kinds of Tallow are
more required, and former rates are fully supported, but
the supply continues to be good ; at auction 235 casks
Australian were sold, fine at 46s to 46s 6d, and low to good
at 44s 3d to 45s 9d per cwt. The stock has been further
increased, and is greater than it was in the past year,
still prices are above those of that time ; but the deli
veries are larger, and the arrivals show an increase. At
St. Petersburgh the shipments of Tallow have exceeded
those of the past season by nearly 20,000 casks. For
auction here 400 packages are declared for Friday. The
value of Rough Fat is 2s 9d per stone.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 27.

HENRY FISHER'S BANSRUFTCY.
The bankrupt was a colonial broker in Great Tower-
street. This was the certificate meeting.
Mr COOKS opposed, and Mr. Lawrence supported
The debts and liabilities were 6,3331. and the as-
sets will do little more than pay the expenses of
the fiat. _ _

The bankrupt commenced business on his own ac-
count in October, 1842, having been previously in
partnership with a man named Clarke, since a bank-
rupt. When Fisher so commenced he was insolvent.
It appeared by the evidence, that he did not confine
himself to brokerage, but traded on his own account
very largely, and inserted such transactions under
fictitious heads in the ledger. The Commissioner
asked him why he made such fictitious entries
The bankrupt replied, after much hesitation, that
he did not wish to let his clerks know he traded
upon his own account. One of the main charges
preferred against him was extravagant expen-
diture. This charge was proved. The bankrupt
admitted that he spent 11. ss. a week on wine and
spirits alone, and that an establishment at Hackney,
which he was in the habit of visiting, and in which a
single lady lived, cost him more than 100/. a year.
Another charge was, obtaining money by false re-
presentations from a creditor. This charge too was
completely proved. Mr. Charles Barry, of Fen-
church-street, lent him upwards of 2,0001, the
bankrupt, with whom he had long been on terms of
friendship, assuring him that he was then in solvent
circumstances, and that he wanted to invest the
money in a Government contract for cocoa. The
bankrupt admitted that at the period he obtained this
loan he was insolvent, and that he had stated he
wished to invest it in a Government contract, but he
denied that he said he was solvent. At the time of
the loan he, fully expected a large bequest from his
father, who was aged and ‘s ealthy—a hope which was
not realised. He invested the money so borrowed in
-_tocoa, and lost 3001. by the transaction. It appeared
;hat Mr. Charles Barry charged the bankrupt fifteen
per cent. on the loan. In addition to these charges,
there was another in reference to a certain bill dis-
counting transaction, in which the bankrupt did not
act with perfect fairness towards his bankers, who,
however, did not oppose.
Mr. LAWRENCE: and Mr. CooKE having severally
addressed the Court,
The COtirMISSIO/iER said that he considered the
charges urged against the bankrupt as proved. He
must say that he quite disapproved of the bankrupt's
conduct in reference to those fictitious entries in his
books. As far as he could learn, the bankrupt's con-
duct, in dealing upon his own account whilst a
broker, was in direct violation of the bye-laws of the
city of London—laws which were made to preserve
the purity of trade, and which ought to be strictly
upheld. The bankrupt's conduct in reference to his
bankers wa s blameable, and his treatment of Mr.
Barry was atrocious. He borrowed more than
2,0001. from that person, none of which was paid,
and made representations to him which were wholly
untrue. He considered that he would not be acting
in accordance with his duty if he did not suspend the
certificate for one year from the present date.
No protection.

WE S TAIHNS 7ER COUNTY COURT, Sept. 27,
(Before MOYLAN, Esq )
LORD BURY V. CLARK.

In this case, which was tried without a jury, a
verdict with 201. damages, had passed against the de.
fendant. The action was for an assault, committed
under the following circumstances :—The plaintiff
having posted a letter at the house of the defendant,
who keeps a stationer's shop and post-office in Jer-
myn-street, entered the shop and asked for some
pencil-cases. A dispute about the quality of the
pencil-cases ensued ; it became an angry one, and the
defendant ordered the plaintiff to quit his shop. The
plaintiff refused to leave, and defendant sent for a
policeman. While the defendant's messenger was in
search of a policeman the plaintiff saw one passing.
He went out to him, and returned with him. The
defendant then, after in vain requesting the plaintiff
to withdraw, as he said—but without such a request,
as plaintiff contended—ran from behind his counter
and pushed the plaintiff with considerable force into
the street. Mr. Keane subsequently moved for a
new trial on the grounds-1. That the defendant
having revoked the licence for entering his
shop, which as a tradesman he had given
to the plaintiff as one of the public, had a right
to turn him out of it if he did not go on request ; and
that, supposing there had not been in this case a
second request, the first was sufficient to justify the
defendant, as the plaintiff's conduct rendered a se-
cond request unnecessary. 2. That the verdict was
against evidence. 3. That the damages were exees,
sive. Mr. Dod having shown cause in the first in-
stance, the Learned Judge took time to consider his
opinion; and, at the sitting of the Court yesterday
morning, said he saw no ground for disturbing the
verdict. There was most distinct evidence of the
assault. Lord Bury swore that the defendant pushed

tradesman could revoke his general license to the
public—but only admitting it for argument's sake,
as it was unquestionably bad law—was this defend-
ant, who kept a post-office, who was, therefore, a
public servant, to clear the post-office at his plea-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WORSHIP-STREET.
A middle-aged man, named George John Hewson,
described as a working jeweller, was charged with
having concealed the birth of a newly-born female
infant.

Patrick Curtin, a shoemaker, occupying a house in
Rosetta-place, Sandy's-row, Spitalfields, in the rear of
the street in which the prisoner lived, stated, that
upon going to his water closet between 10 and 11
o'clock on Saturday morning, he was shocked at dis-
covering the body of an infant partly immersed in the
soil, head downwards, and distinctly noticed a tremu-
lous motionof the limbs, which satisfied him that it
was alive. He immediately called to his neighbours;
and, baying run for the police, found upon his re-
turn that the'body had been got out and_ placed in a
tub of water, for the purpose of cleansing it, by a man
named Josphs) Wll9 afterwards sent for an adjacent
