EXTRAORDINARY DISCLOSURES
BANKRUPTCY COURT, BASINGHALIe•
STREET, 1848.
IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF MR. JOHN DULL.
The bankrupt, who was formerly in an extensive
way of business, appeared for the purpose of passing
his examination under the fiat lately issued against
him. The Court was thronged with clamorous and
irritated creditors, and the Learned Commissioner was
astounded at the disclosures made by the balance-
sheet and the bankrupt's books. The bankrupt him-
self appeared but little sensible of the disgrace attend-
ing his situation, and when questioned as to the causes
of his failure he persisted in referring it wholly to
Peel's Bill and the defective state of the currency.
He was closely examined by the Commissioner, and
his answers occasionally created some amusement.
The debts in his balance appearing to amount to
the incredible sum of about 800,000,0001., hewas asked
how he came to pursue a course of such reckless ex-
travagance, and what prospect he had ever enter.
tained of being able to pay them ? He an-
swered with great coolness, that many of his
debts were of very old standing, and that he could
give no good explanation of them ; that a con-
siderable part had arisen from his disputes with
a quarrelsome and swaggering neighbour ; that
part had. been occasioned by an undutiful son
whom he had vainly endeavoured to keep in subjec-
tion, and that the residue arose chiefly from his
general habit of living beyond his means. He com-
plained that he had not had value received for half
the debts in his balance-sheet; and that he had fallen
into the hands of grinding Jews and plausible trick-
sters, who had swindled him into an engagement to
pay in good coin what they had advanced him in
clipped and counterfeit money; but that they had
over-reached themselves by making it impossible he
could ever pay at all, and he had long given up the
hope of it. He said his present managing clerk (who
was rather a sanguine person) had indeed flattered
him with the hope of paying off all his debts if he
kept him in his service long enough ; but as this clerk
had himself been the means of adding enormously to
their amount in a very short space of time, and had
also confidently told him that the worst was over
just before he was obliged to stop, he did not attach
much faith to his assurances. However, he insisted
that his debts had nothing to do with his bankruptcy,
which was wholly and solely attributable to the pres-
sure and panics occasioned by unsound monetary
legislation.
The Commissioner remarked that the bankrupt was
in desperate circumstances last year, and almost with-
out the means of subsistence, and yet that it appeared
from his books that he had made over a prodigious
amount of his property to a sister who lived in an-
other country, and from whom he had received no-
thing in return. The bankrupt admitted the fact of
having made away with his property, but said his
Honour was not qui`e correct in saying he had re-
ceived nothing in return, for he had received plenty
of abuse. However, he did not care about that; and
he then went on with a vehement flourish about his
sister's distresses and his own generosity, which called
forth some marks of sympathy from the bystanders.
But the Commissioner gravely observed, that a person
in the bankrupt's situation had little right to boast of
a generosity practised at the expense of others who
were now suffering for it; and that it evidently ap •
peared that his sister ought to be able to support her-
self by her own exertions ; and that, considering how
closely the transaction approached the time of his
bankruptcy, it bore every appearance of a fraudulent
preference. his honour added that this appeared to
be one of the immediate causes of the bankrupt's stop-
page; but the bankrupt strenuously insisted that it
was a mere trifle, and wholly unconnected with his
failure, which was brought about by Peel's Bill, and
that only.
The Commissioner then observed that it appeared
from the accounts that the bankrupt on the very eve
of his failure had been resorting to the common and
destructive expedient of attempting to prop up his
credit by paper accommodation and ruinous discounts,
in which he had been aided by some parties of the
names of Russell and Wood, and a joint-stock bank
notorious for mismanagement. The bankrupt ad-
mitted that he had done so, but denied that he had
injured himself by this step, which had only failed
because it did not go far enough ; and he assured his
Honour that if he could have only got as much ac-
commodation paper as he wanted, and on his own
terms, he should have been still on his legs ; but this
was prevented by Peel's Bill. The Commissioner then
asked the bankrupt if the failure of his crops last year,
and his losses by the potato disease which were set
down at an alarming amount in the balance-sheet,
had nothing to do with his difficulties ? To which
he answered, nothing whatever ; and that his
bankruptcy was occasioned solely by want of money,
which Peel's Bill had made artificially scarce. His
Honour smiled, and observed that it struck him that
nothing could be more natural than a scarcity of
money to a man who had lost it and fooled it away as
the bankrupt had done, and that what the bankrupt
appeared to have wanted was an artificial plenty. lie
had never heard more absurd and unsatisfactory
answers given.
His Honour then remarked, that there was one
part of the balance-sheet that was outrageous, and that
was the amount of the bankrupt's railway speculations.
Here was a man confessedly in a state of hopeless in-
solvency, who, nevertheless, plunged into a vortex of
speculation, and projected railways in one year to the
amount of between 300,000,000/. and 400,000,0001.;
and who, with resources everywhere failing him, per-
sisted up to the very day of his stoppage in applying
nearly all his available funds in paying calls on these
mad speculations, which could not return him a farthing
for many years to come. The bankrupt admitted this
to be true, and said that the very last payment ap-
pearing in his books, and which had been made by
overdrawing his bankers, borrowing of his friends, and
vaolfuabbilses,nehwadcobneseon.

20 per cent. since the call was paid ; but he said he
had no doubt that when the present artificial scarcity
of money was removed they would bear a high pre-
mium, and that though possibly the line might net
be immediately remunerative, a remote posterity
would reverence the memories of the directors who
had developed the hitherto dormant resources of those
barren districts which were to be brought into con-
junction. The bankrupt, then (after quoting Sir
Robert Peel on the advantages of direct lines) went
on to assure the Commissioner, that although the last
call left him without a shilling in his pocket, it was
not in the remotest

sioner, who had heard him with evident impatience,

and had several times intimated doubts as to his
distresses having affected his mind, at length cut him
short by adjourning the examination sine die, say-
ing it was the worst case he bad ever seen, and ad-
vising the bankrupt to make no application for a
certificate.— Times.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 13 per
mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/.175. 100.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.47 ;
and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25.75, it follows that gold is 1.09 per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is
436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 10fd. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13.101 ; and, the exchange at Hamburgh
on London at short being 13.13 f, it follows that gold
is 0.91 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh.
The fluctuations in the English Funds have today
again been rapid, but the last price is the same as that
of yesterday. Consols opened at an advance of a
quarter per cent., the quotation for money being
81i to 82i, from which point they very steadily rose
to 82i. After this however, some heavy speculative
sales took place, and the price declined to 81f to i.
For the account Consols began at 82/1- to advanced
to 821, went back one per cent., and finally closed
at 82, rather buyers. During the afternoon rumours
of various descriptions were industriously circulated
to account for the reaction in Consols, but they all
proved to be destitute of foundation. In the Stock
Exchange money was easy at 6.per. cent., and out of
doors it is known, one'S;lstengetilaCsameßTht"
class bills were discounted at 7 per cent., the parties
being also willing to take more upon the same terms.
In the foreign exchanges bills again went off cur-
rently, and a fair amount of business was transacted.
The rates for Holland, Hamburgh, and Frankfort
were rather lower, those for other places remaining
about the same.

At the Bank of England to-day there was an
arrival of gold to the ainount of upwards of 200,0001.
This makes nearly a million which has been received
during the last ten days.
The Caledonia steamer, arrived from Hamburgh,
has brought about 100,0001. in gold ; the Soho, from
Antwerp, has also brought 10,0001.
The stoppage of the Shrewsbury and Market
Drayton Bank (Adams, Adams, Warren, and Co.)
was announced this afternoon. It was a bank of
issue, but its fixed circulation was only 9,700/., and
its liabilities altogether are believed to be insigni-
ficant Mr. Warren (one of the partners) is a
solicitor. Messrs. Masterman and Co, are the Lon-
don agents.
In London to-day there was decidedly an improved
feeling. No failure was announced, except that of
Mr. S. S. Curtis, in the hide trade. The house was
an Old one, but the liabilities are not supposed to be
at all large.
It has been notified that the draughts of the Gore

The above recount exhibits a nominal
38,9871., but explanations were given by the:CrhilPallUrbmseaonf
which went to show that the liquidation
very unfavourable one. It appears that in June a
last
Messrs. Barclay, Brothers, and Co. entered into
an
b
arrangement
with their agents in the Mauritius to
divide the estates in which they were interested, and
which, up to that time, had been equally held
the two firms. By that weans the items in the abovey
into Mauritius account" came their possession.
There are creditors, however, who hold draughts of
the Mauritius agents upon the London firm to the
amount of about 100,0001. (and it does not appear
certain but that that sum may be increased), who
will, of course, not permit the transfer to be com-
pleted without provision being made for the satis-
faction of their claims. To secure that object it
was accordingly suggested to the meeting that all
the estates, &c., which prior to the said agree-
ment- belonged to the two firms should be conveyed
to trustees, subject to the payment of the Mauritius
billholders, and afterwards that the property
should be disposed of on the basis of the con-
templated plan. On the other hand, as a consi.
deration to the general creditors of Barclay
Brothers, and Co., for this step, it was agreed that
the Mauritius billholders should be required to allow
the sugars of the crop of the present year, and all the
other assets of Barclay, Brothers, and Co., except the
Mauritius assets, to be realised, and that they should
forego all participation in the proceeds. The scheme
was suggested in order to prevent unnecessary law
proceedings in the island, and it was agreed by the

meeting that it would be desirable, if possible, to
carry it out.
The settlement of the claims thus described would
reduce the'assets of the estate to about 14s. in the
pound, and when the contingencies connected with
the future prospects of realisations in the Mauritius
are taken into account, the dividend that will be ulti-
mately obtained must be expected to fall considerably
below that amount.

At the conclusion of the meeting, it was agreed
that the affairs of the house should be wound up
under inspection, Messrs. John Gurney Heare, John
Henry Pelly, and Kirkman Daniel Hodgson being
the parties appointed. It is proper to add, that with
regard to the item in the list of liabilities, of "sun-
dry creditors uncovered," amounting to 162,6841., it
was explained that nearly the whole of this total con-
sists of debts to various branches of Mr. Barclay's

CANTERBUBT.—The election terminated by an in-
crease of the Liberals in the town-council, the Con-
servative party having made no exertions either to
increase, or even maintain the position they held.
Three Conservatives are replaced by two Liberals and
a Peelite. Two of the late members on the Liberal
side have ceased to be members, and in their place
two new men are elected pledged to the principles of
progress. It is understood that Mr. W. Brock, the
present Mayor's brother, will be elected to the civic
chair.—Maidstone Gazette.
CHICHESTER.—For several years past no contest
has occurred in the election of councillors for this
city, but its political complexion may now be deemed
Conservative. In Cathedral ward two retiring coun-
cillors, viz., Mr. Henry Cowper and Mr. Edward
William Johnson, have been re-elected, and Dr.
James Woodman, M.D., has also been elected for the
same ward, in the room of Dr. Joshua M`Carogheo,
M.D., retired. In Friary ward Mr. William Brooks,
Mr. Robert Pasco, and Mr. John Lush White were
re-elected without opposition. After the election a
numerous party of all shades of politics assembled at
the Council-house, at the invitation of the Mayor,
when the evening was spent in great hilarity.
COLCHBSTER.—AII parties mustered their forces as
early as possible, but in the first and third wards the
Liberals at the onset took the lead, and kept it
throughout. In the second ward the struggle was
very severe, the numbers at two o'clock being equal
between Mr. Barber and Mr. Bowler; and there being
but thirty-six voters left upon the list unpolled, some
of whom were from home, and others were sick, it
was calculated there were but eighteen that could
vote, and at four o'clock the poll closed, when the
numbers were for the different wards as follows :
First ward—Mr. Moore (L), 428 ; Mr. Chaplin (L),
415 ; Mr. S. Tillett (C), 317; Mr. Osborne (C),
286. Second ward—Mr. Barber (L), 239 ; Mr.
Bowler (C), 264; Mr. J. Tillett (C), 246. Third
ward—Mr. J. B. Harvey (L), 227 ' • Mr. D. Morris
(L), 273 ; Mr. Marsden (C), 213 ; Mr. Church (C),
214. After the poll was declared, the Liberal can-
didates addressed the electors in High-street, con-
gratulating them upon the success of the Liberal
cause,

DoTEL—The following is the result of the polling
in the different wards :—Castle ward—Mr. Steriker
Finnis (L), 281; Mr. T. Bass (L), 271 ; Mr. Going
(T), 235 ; Mr. Barton (T), 236. Town ward—Mr.
T. Robinson (L), 282 ; Mr. A. F. Payn (L), 272 ;
Mr. Court (T), 214. Pier ward—Mr. A. Page (L),
182 ; Mr. T. Macleod (L), 177 ; Mr. Pascall
167 ; Mr. Foord (T), 149.—South Eastern Gazette.
GLOUCESTER.—The municipal elections for this
city terminated in the re-election of John Burrup,
Esq., and John Lovegrove, Esq., both Conservatives,
for the West ward, without opposition. In the East
ward, Mr. Cowles, Conservative was re-elected, and
Mr. George Smith, Whig, rejected ; the numbers
being, for Mr. R. W. Johnson, Conservative, 302 ;
Mr. J. F. Cowles, Conservative, 268 ; Mr. G. Smith,
Whig, 152 ; and Mr. Clutterbuck, Whig, 90 ;
leaving the Conservatives a gain of one. The con-
test in the South ward was also very spirited, where
Mr. Bowly, the temperance advocate, was preferred
to Mr. Kimberley, and Mr. Dudfield was re-elected.
The numbers at the close of the poll stood thus :
Mr. Bowly, merchant, Whig, 135 ; Mr. S. Dudfield,
veterinary surgeon, Whig, 126 ; Mr. T. L. Tripp,
merchant, Conservative, 109 ; Mr. J. P. Kimberley,
Whig, 69. So much depended upon the results of
this election, that it is now a matter of great un-
certainty who will be the new mayor.
HASTINGS.—East ward—Burfield (Conservative),
491 ; Ginner (Whig), 450 ; Ross (Radical), 448;
Harvey (Conservative), 424 ; Thwaites (Radical),
347 ; Bartram (Radical), 325 ; the four first returned.
West ward—Deudney (Conservative), 116 ; Merton,
(Conservative), 96 ; Voysey (Radical), 78 ; the two
first returned.
LEEDS.—These elections have passed off to-day
with greater spirit than for some years past. Nine
wards of the twelve were contested, namely, East,
North-east, Kirkgate, Holbeck, North-west, Mill-
hill, West, North, and South. In the Headingly,
Hunslet, and Bramley wards there was no contest.
The result is a return of 11 Liberals and 5 Tories,
which will constitute the town-council of 14 Tories
and 50 Liberals.
LINCOLN.—For the Upper Ward there was no
contest, Mr. Keyworth (L) and Mr. W. C. Norton
(C) retired ; Mr. W. C. Norton is re-elected ; and
Mr. R. G. Hill, a Conservative, in Mr. Keyworth's
place. Middle Ward : a Conservative and a Liberal

LIVERPOOL.—Yesterday being the Ist of Novem-
ber, was the day appointed by Act of Parliament for
returning 16 members to our town council, in lieu of
16 who on that day retired by rotation from the im-
portant trust confided to them by their constituents
—the burgesses of Liverpool. And never since the
passing of the Municipal Reform Act was there an
election of the kind in this borough which passed
over so quietly and so harmoniously. In four of the
wards there was no contest, viz., Vauxhall, Great
George-street, Castle-street, and Abercromby. In
Vauxhall ward, Mr. 'William Preston (Liberal) was
returned. In Great George ward, Mr. Harbord, as
we noticed on a former occasion, was invited by both
sections of burgesses in the ward, and therefore was
returned unanimously. In Castle-street ward, Mr.
Holmes (Liberal), and in Abercromby ward, Mr.
Proctor (Conservative) have been returned without
without opposition. The council is now composed of
15 Reformers and 49 Tories.—Liverpool Times.
MANCHESTER.—The elections here have passed off

and even

the opposition did not in all cases arise out of a diffe-

field (new), 260; Hamer, 65 ; Woodfall, 63 ; Ex-

majority of 131 over Kirkham). Medlock-street
Ward, one ; Dearden (re-elected), numbers not
given ; Greg, the opposing candidate. In all the
other wards, either the retiring councillors have been
re-elected, or no opposition was offered to the new
candidates. On the whole, there are eight new men
returned to the Common Council.—LiverpoolMercztry.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TTNE.—AII the members of the
Town Council who went out of office this day (14 in
number) have been returned without opposition.
They are all moderate men in politics, Liberal prin-
ciples, however, having slightly the preponderance.
Noawicit, Nov. I.—The result of our municipal
elections this day has been to give the Conservative
party one more councillor than they had last year.
This was in the second ward, where Mr. James
Smith Rump, Conservative, has been returned in the
room of William Freeman, Esq., a new Whig magis-
trate, the Nonconformists having lent their aid to
Mr. Rump to oppose Mr. Freeman, the latter having
at the last general election voted for the Marquis of
Douro instead of Mr. Parry, the candidate of the
Nonconformists. In the seventh ward the Noncon-

formists put up a man of their own, Mr. J. W.
Dowson, a Unitarian, and Mr. Sinclair contested the
ward as a Conservative. A great deal of excitement
existed in this low part of the city. At the close of
the poll the numbers were—T. 0. Springfield, Etq.,
178 ; Mr. Dowson, 151 ; Mr. Blake, 129 ; Mr. Sin-
clair, 78. The Whig and Nonconformists were re-
turned. The corporation now consists of—Whig
councillors, 24; Tory ditto, 18 ; Whig aldermen, 16.
There was no contest in any other wards.
OXFORD, TuEsDAY.—The contest for municipal
honours in the east, west, north, and central wards
of this city were spirited, and ended in the following
gentlemen being elected, viz. :—East Ward —Messrs Tarry (L), and Thompson (C). West Ward
Messrs. Dudley (L), and Warne (L). North Ward
Messrs. Cox (0), and Dobney (L). Central Ward

[PRICE SD.

—Messrs. Mallam (C), and Spiers (C). In the
South 'Ward, Messrs. Grubb (L), and Telfer (L),
were unopposed. The result of yesterday's election
has added one more councillor to the Liberal party.
The council is now composed of 17 Liberals and 23
Conservatives.

ROCHESTER.—The following is the result of the
election :—St. Margaret's Ward—Messrs. Hayward
and IVieliba:n (Tories), re-elected ; Mr. Jesse
Thomas (Tory), vice
.Nicholon, is 110 retires. Strood
Ward—Mr. John Cobb (Liberal), re-elected. St.
Nicholas Ward—This ward was strongly contested
by the Liberals, and at the close of the poll, at four
o'clock, the assessors retired into the council chamber
to cast up the numbers, and after sitting three hours
returned into the hall, and announced their inability
to declare the poll till ten o'clock the next morning.
There is no doubt, however, that one, if not bath, the
Liberals have the majority.—.S'outh-Eastern Gazette.
SALISBURY.—St. Thomas's Ward--Two Liberals
were elected in place of two Conservatives, who retire
in rotation. St. Edmund's Ward—Two Conservatives
again returned, Mr. Hill, Liberal, losing through
his own apathy. St. Martin's Ward—ln this ward
two Conservatives have been replaced by two Liberals.
The Liberals, therefore, by this election gain four in
the town council.

CORONERS' INQUESTS.
Yesterday Mr. Payne, the City coroner, held an
inquest at the Crown Tavern, St. George's-circus,
Blackfriars-road, on the body of Robert Butler,
aged 48, who died from the combined effects of
breathing impure air and not allowing himself the
common necessaries of life.
Mr. Hooper, the parish surgeon, upon being sworn,
deposed that on the morning of Sunday last he saw
deceased at No. 4, Minah-place, ring-street, Borough-
road. He was then alive, but his extremities were
quite cold, and there was no pulse to be felt. He
was lying perfectly naked, upon an old mattress, on
the floor. The awful stench in the place was quite
sufficient to kill any one. A quantity of copper
money lying on the table was completely tarnished
by the noxious gas. In the room witness found a
large basket of rotten apples, covered with vermin,
and the walls swarmed with fleas. Finding the state
the deceased was in, witness sent out for some brandy,
and he gave him a teaspoonful in some warm water
once or twice, and he seemed to rally a little. After
the :lapse of half an hour he began to sink, and he
expired in the course of an hour afterwards. Witness
attributed death to the impure atmcsphere he had
been breathing and his not allowing himself sufficient
food.
John Woolf, police-constable, M No. 213, said
that he occupied the house No. 4, Minah-place. The
deceased rented one of the back rooms, and had done
so since last April twelve months. He understood
that by trade he was a shoemaker. He had been
confined to his room during the past few days. After
the death of deceased, whilst searching the room,
witness found VT/. 10s. in gold, 8/. 3s. 6d. in silver,
and 6s. 3d. in copper, making in the whole 251. 19s.
9d. The deceased was a man of very parsimonious
habits, and would not allow himself the common ne-
cessaries of life. He would never allow his wife to
enter his room, or it would have been properly
cleansed.
Elizabeth Woolf, the wife of the last witness, said
that she had given the deceased- soup and sago to
strengthen him, believing him to be unable to get
either of himself. She had done so when she and
her family wanted such articles themselves.
The CORONER said the witness had behaved in the
most liberal manner to a man who did not need it,
land he rewarded her with a sum of money as a com-
pensation for what she had expended on him.
The Learned CORONER summed up, and remarked
at considerable length upon the case, when the jury
returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased
died from breathing impure air, and neglecting to
take the common necessaries of life."
THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT HACHNEY..--YUS.
terday the jury impannelled on this inquest assem-
bled to investigate the circumstances connected with
the death of Mr. S. Nelme, aged 75, of No. 2, Grove-
place, Hackney, a member of the board of guardians.
Several of the parochial authorities were present, with
the Rev. Dr. Goodchild, the rector, and a number of
medical gentlemen. The following additional evidence
was adduced before the court :

Mr. Touimin, surgeon, Hackney, who made She
post mortent examination of the deceased's body, said
the contents of the stomach were placed in three jars,
which he forwarded by direction of the coroner for
analyzation to Dr. Letheby, which gentleman was
then present to give the result of the analysis. On
Monday witness was suddenly requested to attend on
Mrs. Nelme. He proceeded there immediately, and
found her excessively sick. In answer to his inqui-
ries she stated that she had recently taken some arrow-
root and sugar. Witness then obtained possession of
it, and mixed it with water, but it would not dissolve.
He subsequently gave it to Dr. Letheby, who informed
him that the test he had employed led to the discovery
of the existence of arsenic.

Dr. Letheby, chemical lecturer at Guy's Hoipital,
said that three jars were placed in his hands
by Mr. Toulmin. Use contained the contents
of the stomach, another had the stomach,
and the third the intestines. The analysis of the
whole of them showed the existence of arsenic in

its metallic state. The test would not produce
arsenic by combinations with the stomach. Since
these experiments Mr. Toulmin sent to him two paper
packets, in which were arrow-root and white sugar,
about four ounces and a half of the latter. Ile em-
ployed the test and detected more than half an ounce
of white arsenic, a quantity enough to kill more than
one hundred persons.
Mary Pray, No. 6, Morning•lane, Hackney, said
that she had been charwoman to Mrs. Nelme many
years, ar.d for about five weeks she had acted as cook.
The deceased's daughter, Mrs. Mary Allnut, by de-
ceased's first wife, was at the house on a visit. She
has a son and three daughters. The son, whose
christian name is William, is twelve years old. He
had been charged by his grandfather with having dis-
charged a pistol at him. lie admitted that the cap
had gone off while the pistol was in his pocket, and
that it was subsequently found in the garden by a
man.

By the CORONER—I believe deceased bought some
arsenic to kill mice; there was a quantity in the
house.

Policeman Spinks, of the N division, said that he
had seen the schoolmaster of deceased's grandson,
who attended a grammar school. He said that the
pistol had been in the boy's possession.—(This witness
found seventeen shots in the pistol.) The witness
stated that he should be able, if the inquiry_ were
adjourned, from information forviarded to him, to
produce some important evidence that would tend to
the elucidation of this mysterious affair.
The CORONER and jury then consulted together,
after which the inquiry was adjourned.

on Monday last, to a man named John (;hell. It ap-
pears the unfortunate man was one of the labourers en-
gaged in the work of ballasting, and in his endeavours
to check the speed of a waggon was thrown down. The
waggon passed over him, m.ngling the poor fellow in a
dreadful manner. A surgeon, who was sent for, advised
his immediate removal to the North Staffordshire Infir-
mary, and, although it was near the dinner hour, thir-
teen of his fellow-workmen volunteered to carry him on
a board, shoulder high, a distance of nearly twelve miles,
that being the only available means in such a petilous
case. This action reflects the greatest credit on the
sympathising feelings of the parties who came forward
in such a crisis to " do unto others as they would wish
to be done by." After a toilsome march of three hours
they arrived at the Infirmary, when it was found that
the injuries the unfortunate man had sustained were of
the most dreadful character—the right leg being com-
pletely smashed, the left hand dreadfully fractured, with
various contusions in other parts of the body. Being in
a state of great exhaustion
.it was not deemed prudent
to operate that day, but on Tuesday Mr. Sparks, the
senior surgeon, amutated the right leg, and on Wednes-
day the left hand ;-and we und.r4tand, notwith:tanding
these formidable injuries, hopes are entertained of his
recovery, He is a married man, with seven children.—

rflIE DULCE AND TIIE UTII.E.—WIICII Sir JOllll
Carr was in Glasgow, about the year 184)7, he was asked
by the magistrates to give his advice concerning thu in-
scrip ton to be placed on Nelson's monument, then just
completed. The travelling Knight recommended this
brief record--" Glasgow to Nelson." " True" said one
of the bailies, " and as there is the town of Nelson near
us, we might add, ' Glasgow to Nelson, ix. miles, so
that the column might serve both for a milestone and a
monument."
Tun Ron ROY.—This vessel, commanded by
Lieutenant Knocker, R.N., from this port kr St. Peter
burgh, took her departure hence, for the last voyage this
season, on Tuesday morning last, at thirty minutes past
four o'clock. She had on board a full o:)mplecr cut of
passengers, and a full miscellaneous cargo, consisting
of colonial produu, indigo, little twist, and alm the Jim r cotton yarnsost every description of merchandisea
and small packages. There were al:o seven coaches
from the royal mail coach manufactory ; some of these
were constructed with stoves and flues inside, and
adapted for conveyance on sledges. She also took
cut
three valuable horses and two rams for bt. Petersburg
and a boar and two other breeding pigs for Copenhagen.h

REPAYMENT OF RELIEF ADVANCES.
DUBLIN, Nov. I.—The Cork Reporter says
" It appears to us that the course that ought to
have been taken was to call on the guardians for
payment. If that demand was refused, then would
have been the time to exercise the power given under
the 17th section of the Relief Act. If such a demand
had been made, the guardians would have made an
arrangement for the repayment, by weekly instal-
ments, of the advances. This it is now proposed to do,
tahnedpirtoipsehsoal,ped theitelief Commissioners will agree to
namely, that the claim, amounting to
over 8,000/., should be liquidated by weekly pay-
ments of 5004 Two o'clock.—We have just learned
that an order has been received from the Lord-Lieu-
tenant, authorising the bank to make the usual dis-
bursements to the credit of the guardians."
SHOCKING MURDER IN CLARE.
The Limerick Chronicle contains the following
account of a dreadful murder, communicated by a
Alagistrate of the county of Clare:—
" SCARIFF, SATURDAY, OCT.: o._. Another of those
' horrible inurdtrs, which disgrace our unfortunate
country, has just been committed on the public high
road leading from Killaloe and Scarify to Tulle and
Ennis, in this county. The unfortunate victim was
Michael Walsh, steward and caretaker to Charles G.
O'Callaghan, Esq., of Ballynahinch. This respect-
able man, w hen on his way to Ennis this morning,
at the hour of eight o'clock, on the public high road,
near Fort Ann, was fired at from behind a wall, and
shot dead; one ball entered his mouth, and took with
it the roof off his skull ; the second also entered his
head ; both shots were heard distinctly by persons
immediately near, but no clue has been obtained of
the perpetrators."
ILLNESS OF THE EARL OF _MEATH.
We regret to state that the venerable Earl of
Meath, in consequence of serious illness, has been ad-
vised by his medical attendants to winter in Italy.
He has appointed his son, Lord Brabaaon, to act as
vice-lieutenant of the county of Dublin, and that
nobleman will remain in this country to look after
the wants of the poor on his.father's estates.
ARRIVAL OF THE MAR'QUIS AND MARCHIONESS
OF KILDARE FROM ENGLAND.—On Saturday morn-
ing the Marquis of Kildare, accompanied by his
bride, arrived in Kingstown by the Iron Duke
steamer. The noble pair, on arriving in town, pro-
ceeded to the family town residence, Lower Do-
minick-street, and after breakfast set off at once for
Carton in a splendid new chariot and four. The en-
tire of the tenantry on the estate had been invited
to a fete which was given yesterday on the grounds
of Carton. Nothing can exceed the respect and re-
gard which appears to pervade all classes in the
neighbourhood for the kind and beneficent young no-
bleman, who has now come with his bride to live at
home and amongst the people.—Freeman's Journal.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The weekly meeting of the Repeal Association
was held this day in the Conciliation Hall ; Captain
Green, M.P., county Kilkenny, presided.
Mr. J. O'Connell handed in 101. from Clonmel.
On the motion of Mr. J. O'CoNISELL, the name of
Mr. Charles O'Connell, solicitor (who supported Mr.
Lucius O'Brien at the last Clare election) was struck
off the books of the association.

Mr. J. O'CONNELL announced that the leading
gentlemen of the two constituencies (Limerick and
Kilkenny), by whom he (Mr. J. O'Connell) was
elected to sit in Parliament, had determined to meet
at Clonmel and decide upon the place for which he
was to sit, and thus save him from the embarrassment
of making the selection. After some further observ-
ations, Mr. O'Connell said, in the course of the last
week the first of the returns which bad been called
for by the Catholic bishops of Connaught at the meet-
ing held in Loughrea was made. It was a return
from the diocese of Elphin, and he would read from
it the number of families who are in utter destitution
and perishing from the want of relief in that dio-
cese : Families.

To remedy this destitution and save the lives of
this enormous number of persons would be sufficient
to occupy Parliament not only in this extraordinary
session, but during the entire session. He next re•
cured to the affairs of Switzerland, and regretted to
say that Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston
were most anti- Catholic in their sentiments. England
was most shamefully alluning the infidel states in
Switzerland to oppress the Catholics and assail them,
because the Catholics wished to have their education
conducted by the Jesuits. Although the Radicals
had shown by their conduct even in their own can-
tons that they were. anarchists and upsetters of order,
still they were permitted to go on in consequence of
the anti-Catholic policy that prevailed in the councils
of Britain. It was a question of interest that such

bigotry should be cried out against by the represen-
tatives of the people.
After some further proceedings the meeting termi-
nated.

SALE 01' HUGHES'S MAMMOTH ESTABLISHMENT.

—The sale of this large collection, which has excited
such strong expectation among the numerous class
whose business lies in that way, was commenced yester-
day at Vauxhall-gardens, which presented a singular
appearance, from the motley and miscellaneous nature
of the articles exhibited. All round the large area in
the centre were placed the carriages, &c., and in the
rotunda were some of the " Metranoth" tribe—the
elephants and camels. The walls of the building and
stage were covered with the wardrobe and properties, of

to set up several dozens of dramatic authors in

of the latter description were sold yesterday, but ex-
cited none of the attention and competition which
had been c xpectrd—a result which would appear to
betoken either the coming decline of the cut-and-
thrust school of drama, or the completion of the
managerial arrangements of the approaching seasr.
Everything in the shape of wardrobes and properties
went at extremely low prices, which averaged between

brought to the hammer on the following days. The
most remarkable specimen in this department is one
modelled after " the rath, or imperial state carriage of
the Emperor of Burmah," which was captured by the
British army during the operations against the Burmese
