mined, and sales :u some extent have been made at an
advance o. in two or three instances, tor selections,
et dp. .r lb. The European market- generally have an
improved character, and recent advices from America
have brought higher (rotations, more especially for
good and fine sorts of Kentueky. At the latest dates
there we re no vessels on fir this port, and freights were

BANKRUPTCY.--(T HIS DAY.)
(Belot'', Mr. Garimisstoner FANE.)
NEGLECT OF A SHERIFF'S OFFICER—IN RE H. T HOOLE.

This bankrupt, who had carr►.d on bo;itiesT;;;
grocer in H•gh-street, Southwark, came up to pas, his
last examination, N hich had been adjourned till this day.
The SOLICITOR to the assignees said that they did not
oppose the nankru..t passing, us the accounts were no
doubt the best that the bai:krupt could furnish, but they
had to complain of the conduct 4,f one of the sheriff's
officers for the county of Surrey, for whose attendance
his Honour had granted a summons a few days since, in
order that he might he examined touching some pro-
perty which he had taken in execution, but he was not
in attend:thee. As the Croydon Assizes, however, were
on, it wa- just possible, he .night have some excuse,
although there was little doubt he had been used as
on in,trutue•nt to detest the general body of creditors,
as tight judgments had been put in, and kept tor six
weeks. _

....... _
His Howoutt asked if the officer had been served per-
sonally, and on being answered in the affirmative, said
the solicitor might have a warrat.t. As to the brit,
rupts conduct,
' • it had been very u, just to his creditors
in general, to whom he owed 2,5001., and all his pro-
perty had been seized by the parties who held the
executi.,ns, and who would get 20s. in the pound, whilst
the other creditors said they would. not get a farthing.
This conduct would be taken into consideration when
the bankrupt came up for his certificate, which would,
most certainly, be suspended, in order that his creditors
might have an opportunity of putting him in prison.
A creditor said, that if the Court withdrew its pro-
tection from the bankrupt, he certainly would cause
the t ankrupt to be taken in Execution.
His /I.ONOUR said it was doing a good service.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Harrison was charged before Mr. Hardwick
with uttering a counterfeit half-crown.
It appeared that on the previous► evening►, about halr-
past eight, the prisoner entered the shop of Mr.
Rodrique, the stationer in Piccadilly, and desired to be
supplied with two sheets of paper, and a couple of
envelopes, in payment for which he tendered the half-
crown produced. Directly the shopuian took up the
corn he detected it as being bad, and recognised the pri-
soner as being the person who bad passed a similar coin
on the previous day. The prisoner was then given into
custody.

Mr 'HARDWICK remanded the priAoner for a week.
Edward Quail, a sturdy young fellow, was placed at
the bar, charged with being drunk and riotous, and
