BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONISLANQUE.)
IN RE BtFPINGS.

COSTS.—In this case, in which the bankrupt had
carried on business as a hotel keeper at Cromer,
Norfolk, Mr. LUCAS applied for the costs of the cre-
ditors opposing the bankrupt's passing his last
examination aid certificate, on the ground of fraudu-
lent concealment of property. On the last occasion
it was stated that the expense had been very great,
in consequence of the necessity of having to bring
witnesses to town to prove every trifling circum-
stance, and his Honour then observed that it would
be a great saving of expense if evidence could be
taken in the country by some competent person. He
thought it was a case in which the costs ought to be
allowed, and he now signed the order.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
A well dressed elderly man, with an enormous pair
of whiskers, and a fierce expression of countenance,
who gave his name as Captain Allen, and described
himself as " an old soldier and a magistrate," was
placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine on a charge of
drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
It appeared that the prisoner arrived at the entrance
of the Adelphi Theatre in a cab last night, at about
half-past eight o'clock. He was very drunk. On
getting out of the cab, he tossed with the cabman for
sixpence, and lost it. He then went into the theatre,
but, after paying and getting his cheque, he twice
fell on the steps. The policeman on duty, A 162,
told him he could not be allowed to go into the boxes
in that state, and he insisted on being admitted, de-
claring that he was an old soldier and a magistrate,
and warned the constable to " meddle with him on
his peril." The door-keeper having returned his
money, he was removed. He refused to leave the
door, and became so riotous, that it was necessary to
take him in charge.

The prisoner vehemently denied the charge, and
he called several witnesses who averred that he was
perfectly sober at five o'clock in the afternoon, and at
eleven o'clock at night (when he was bailed), but
that he was subject to fits of "excitability." Great
complaints were made that the inspectors on duty
would not suffer him to be bailed earlier, though re-
peated applications were made.
In answer to this evidence, Inspectors Dodd and
Black both declared on oath that the prisoner was
r
kwhen at the station. That they could
not to be bailed earlier and that even at
theeeling l
suffer
him
astdr
m anent the propriety of liberating him was
doubtful, but they considered they were giving him
into good hands as his bail were respectable men, and
were perfectly sober.
The witnesses were severally recalled, and minutely
questioned, and all insisted that he was very drunk.
Nearly the whole time the prisoner was in the
dock he was pointing at the constable and at Mr.
Inspector Black, and interrupting the proceedings by
demanding their names. When the opportunity of
cross-examining the constable was offered him, he
exclaimed, with much gesticulation, "Fellow ! but
that I was unwilling to wrong the laws of my coun-
try, I would have killed thee with this stick !"
Mr. JARDIN E--It is very well for you you did not.
Prisoner—l don't know that ; such a fellow ought
to be killed. For my part, I never was in custody
before, except with Napoleon.—(A laugh.)
Mr. JARDINE said he had no doubt whatever that
the prisoner was drunk. He would fine him 11.
Prisoner—Very well, I'll pay it ; but I must have
that fellow's name (pointing at Mr. Black); I'll
bring an action against him.
Nobody, however, seemed willing to inform him on
this point, and he left the court still calling upon
some one to "get that fellow's name," as he passed
along the passage to the street.

THAMES.—(THIS DAY.)
Harvey Boram was charged with ferociously as-
old woman, nearly seventy years of age,

The poor creature, who has been bebt.aut ‘44+
the hospital under medical treatment for the injuries
she had received, was obliged to be carried into court.
She stated she had known the prisoner for five years,
both of them residing in Zion-square, Rosemary-
lane. On Friday night last, as sha was going out,
she was stopped by the prisoner, who accused her of
having told lies, and made mischief between him and
his wife. She denied the charge, and he knocked her
down. He then beat her about the head and kicked
her dreadfully, until she became insensible.
Mary Evans, daughter of the prosecutrix, and a
young woman, named Mary Locke, who witnessed
part of the occurrence, corroborated this evidence.
For the defence, the prisoner contented himself
with saying that "'he never touched her—he had too
much respect for her.
Mr. YARDLEY said he was almost at a loss for
terms sufficiently strong to express his indignation at
the prisoner's conduct. He should give him the very
highest punishment the law allowed him to inflict,
and sentenced him to pay a fine of 51., or two months'
imprisonment with hard labour.
The fellow was locked up in default.

ACCIDENT ON THE LIMERICK AND WATERFORD
RAILwAY--Last evk-ning (Friday) an accident occurred
on the Limerick and Waterford Railway, by which the
patent nietal bridge at Bally inion sustained much
damage, but we are happy to state no life was lost. As
the Glengall engine
twelve unladen waggons, the axle of
ine was returning to this city from the
ballast pits, with
the second last on the rail broke, between Peafield-
bridge and
Ballysitoon, when it got off the train. The
"gine was travelling at the rate of sixteen miles an
hour, and 0
n reaching Ballysi;non-bridge the other
wagons tunahled off, v; hen the entire went smash
through ;he
b;idge, tearing away live of the diagonal
braciiig., andthree vertical boits, notwithstandit,g which
the structure never hat Ate Callllbre, or vertical po,ition.
The damage sustained is being made good, and the
engine will
again travel the line on Monday.—Limerich
Chronicle. . .

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was flat
at previous rates. Sales 3,000 bales. In Railway Shares
very little was done.
We have various arrivals to-day, but not e claim at-
tention in precedence of that from •erica. It is
natural to advert, in the first e ce, to the
effect produced by the intelligeno received out
of the failures here which commenced early
in the month of August. The consequence appears to
have been an immediate stringency in the money
market, a fall in the prices of grain and flour, and an
advance in the rates of exchange, all movements antici-
pated, but yet more to be developed when the further
disasters which occurred here become known. We have
a hope, notwithstanding, that the mercantile community
on the other side of the Atlantic will stand the shock
much better than the English houses have dune.
For a considerable time pest the Americans have
had the balance of trade in their favour,
not only as respects England, but Europe, South
America, and other parts, and are therefore the better
enabled to endure present losses. As to the value of
stocks we are told that there had been a falling off of
several per cent. within a fortnight. One writer ob-
serves that—
" There is a vast difference in the position of the
United States and England. The prosperity of the
former never was greater or healthier, while the latter
is almost upon the verge of national bankruptcy. The
former is rapidly progressing in every braucn of in-
dustry, while the latter appears to have reached its
culminating point, and is shaking in the wind. The
resources of the two nations differ as widely as the
characters of the people and the geographical location
of each.
" Domestic exchanges are quiet. Bills on Baltimore
and New Orleans are at a small premium ; on all other
prices at a discount. There is no movement of conse-
quence in specie, and the supply of current money
offering for redemption is large, showing an activity in
business, and large payments from the interior."
Although we do not attach importance to all the accounts
received, of damage to the Cotton crops, we think the
subject deserving attention. It is stated:—
" The accounts that now reach us respecting the
appearance of the growing crop, are conflicting. From
a careful analysis of them, we are persuaded that it is in
a very precarious condition, and that its appearance
now, is decidedly adverse to a good yield. From some
sections we hear that it promises well, whilst in others,
they have totally abandoned all hope of making even half
a crop. The plant generally looks well. It was pushed
forward to an unhealthy degree by the rains in July,
but it is large, long jointed, and sappy ; the forms and
squares are falling from the stalks, and it is not in a
productive condition. Thus far we have .no positive
evidence of the appearance of the caterpillar or army
worm (the noctua gosypii), whose ravages usually
commence the latter part of this month, and
continue through the early part of ,September,
but we have undoubted intelligence of the pre-
sence of the bore or boll worm—a worm that perfo-
rates the boll, destroying it entirely. These worms are
now at work in the richest cotton lands, in South
Alabama, in the Canebrake on Red River, La.,
and on the bottom lands of South Mississippi, and have
also appeared Lear Columbus and Entitle, Georgia.
Although not leaving such marks of devastation in the
leafless stalks and stripped branches, as manifests the
advent of the army-worm, this enemy does its work
quite as effectually, and frequently proves more dis-
astrous. The one takes the cotton by a bold assault,
the other adopts mining and .other appliances of the
siege. Such is the shortness of the time now for the
maturity of the crop, that all the causes
which tavourab y affect it must co-operate in
an eminent degree, in order to ensure an
average yield. The early planting on light sandy soil
this year looks better than that planted at the oruinary
sew.on, and on such sufficent bolls have matured to en-
able planters to hasten forward a few bales to port, for
the credit they gain in their nei,4hbourhood of having
made the first bale of the season. In tact, the plant on
rich soils is toll three weeks behind its appearance last
season, and we are dependent on the late planting ann
undergrowth for the crop, as what is termed the top
crop does not yirid enough now tor an ordinary pick-
ing force."
From Canada we regret to hear still of a great deal
of sickness, and it was apprehended that next winter
will bring severe privations to many.
In Mexico the prospect of peace was still doubtful.
There hes been some speculative business in the
Funds, and parties began to operate for a rise upon the
American news, but sellers have again appeared. and
Consuls for October have reached from 874 I to 86i and
87. Money sales have been made as high as 87, but
since at a tall of 86i The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 8134. ; East India Stock is worth
239 to 241. Exchequer. bills have been 2s. to ss. prem.
The foreign investments have been fluctuating. Spa-
nish have been done at 204 for present transfer, and at
30 for account. Mexican Bonds have realised 194 to it,
and Grenada 19. Dutch Four per Cents. are 874 e
Railway shares in general continuo flat, but Oxford
and Wolverhampton have improved.
