CHILDREN REMOVED FROM THB CUSTODY Or
THEIR FATHER.—A gentlemanly-looking man here
stepped forward, and handed in an affidavit to the
Court, saying that his children had been removed
from his custody during his absence, and taken
from London by railway; that they were entitled
to considerable property on coming of age ; that it
was the intention of the parties to remove them to the
continent, to associate them with persons of improper
character; and he prayed the Court to interpose its
authority, and to restore his children to his care, is
order that he might, as their lawful guardian, super-
intend their education. He added that the youngest
was blind, and that the applicant's name was Frederick
Clarke, and that he lived in Brompton.
Lord DENMAN (to the applicant, who seemed to
have lost his voice, for he could not articulate beyond
the faintest and most painful whisper)—There is no-
thing here on which the Court can act.
Mr. Clarke pointed to the name of the Rev. Mr.
Brett in the document.
Lord DENMAN--YOU must find out if you can in
whose custody your children are. Mr. Brett Is not
stated to be the party. There is no one mentioned
here whom we can call before us. _

The applicant then bowed and withdrew.
It may be right to state that the same person made
a similar application last night just before the rising
of the court, but as his affidavit was incomplete,
Lord Denman, after kindly waiting a short time,
advised him to make his application to-day. Once
or twice during the morning he advanced to make his
affidavit hereon, but one of the clerks repressed him
and he resumed his seat. When the bar had con'
eluded making motions,
Lord DENMAN called upon Mr. Clarke to make his
statement before the new trial paper came on.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.)
CAUSING AN EXPLOSION THROUGH CARELESSNESS.
THE QUEEN V. BUTTER.
Mr. HUDDLESTONE applied for a rule nisi to admit
the defendant in this case to bail. He was a miner,
and it was alleged that by removing the cover of a
lamp he had caused an explosion of gas by which his
own brother had been killed, and himself and others
seriously injured. The proprietors of the mine some'
time ago adopted the plan of locking the tops of the
lamps, so that they could not be removed by
.the
miners. The plan had, unfortunately, fallen into
desuetude and hence the disaster. The former plan
had now been rigidly adopted. The jury
in the
matter found the defendant guilty of manslaughter'
and he was committed to gaol on the coroner's
,war-
rant. He was now most anxious to be liberated e"
bail.—Application acceded to.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
HALLETT v. VIGNE.
In this case Mr. Willis made an application to the
Court to enlarge the rule in this case until next term.
The rule previously obtained had been allowed to
stand over until the present term, on the Attorneys
General undertaking to open the information, and as
it appeared that the Attorney-General was not yet
prepared to go on with the case, the best course that he
could suggest would be to enlarge the rule.
The rule was accordingly enlarged.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron PLATT and
common juries.)
MORLEY v. ATTENBOROUGII.
In this case Mr. Humfrev and Mr. Bovill appeared
for the plaintiff; Mr. Martin and Mr. Petersdorf for
the defendant.
The plaintiff in this case appeared to be a musical
instrument maker, carrying on business at Islington-
The defendant was a pawnbroker residing in Oxford"
street. The facts of the case appeared to be as fol-
lows :—Mrs. Chappell, the music seller in Bend'
street, lent a harp upon hire to a person of the
name of Elliott, who had improperly pledged
the same to the defendant for the sum of fifteen
guineas. At the expiration of twelve months the
pledge not having been redeemed, was forwarded, in
the usual course of business, to Messrs. Debenham
4114 Story with other unredeemed pledges, for the

GROOM V. STENTON.
This was a motion to vacate an enrolme trt, on the
ground that an order to appeal had been % obtained
within the specified time, 28 days.
The case was argued yesterday, and his ::Lordship
decided to-day that the application could aot be en-
tertained, as the rule of court had not 1 4.en com-
plied with.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Sir J. WIGRA3I.)
SEERRATT V. THE NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE ItAILWAT

This was a motion for a rule of court to confirm
an agreement of the 12th of June, that had been
entered into by the plaintiff and defendant: i, appoint-
ing three arbitrators to determine the amour at of com•
pensation to which the former was entitled for loss of
land and residential injury which he had sustained
by the undertaking of the above company.
His Honour was to have delivered jud; anent to-
day, but deferred doing so till he had rt ...read the
agreement.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY-)
(Sittings in Banco.)
SHIP INSURANCE.--FISHER V. THE ROYAL Elf.C. TIAN"
ASSURANCE COMPANY.
Sir F. THESIGER moved in this case fbr a rule,
calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why a new
trial shonld not be had, on the ground that tl ie ver-
dict was contrary to the evidence adducea at the
trial. The case was tried before Lord Dc nan at
the last sittings at Guildhall, and a verdict w as found
for the plaintiff for 1231. on the first coy JO,. and
1,8101. on the second. It was an action to recover
the amount of an assurance effected upon a ship
called Mary Meliclay, for injuries and loss es which
she sustained in the course of her voyage from the
Mauritius to the Persian Gulf. The 123/. was for
the injuries sustained, and the 1,8101. for loss es. The
pleas were general, and were to the effect that the
defendants had not broken their covenant, lot gci.ng at
the construction of the 10th Geo. 111., c. 30. The 61efence
set up was that the vessel was wilfully run a shore,
and then sacrificed by a sale. It appeared thr it the
plaintiff was a wholesale crockery- ware dealer in tue,
Mauritius, and claimed compensation for the low 0.1
two boxes of specie, which were assured in two offi4les
at Calcutta, at one for 3,0001., and in the other or
3,5001. They had now the evidence of a gentlem=en
whom they could not procure at the trial, who vr..,el
present at the opening of the chest, and who calla
give important evidence.
Lord DENMAN (stopping the Learned Counsel)
The circumstances are peculiar, and present a ye ry
extraordinary state of facts. I think you had better
take a rule.—Rule granted.
ARCHIBALD AND OTHERS v. TATHAM.
This was an action of a similar nature, to recovc
the amount of a policy of insurance on a ship calle d
the Greyhound, which was destroyed by the "peril s
of the sea" in a voyage from St. John's, Newfound
land, to Sidney. The verdict was for the plaintiffs.
Sir FREDERICK THESIGER obtained a rule for
new trial.

ROADS.-THE QUEEN V. THE PARISH OF ANBURY*

Mr. JAMES moved fortine; trial in this case. It;
was a prosecution, at the instance of a Mr. Holmes,
solicitor at Arundel, to compel the parish to repair
road, by the side of which he had become the owner!
of some property. The lane was a green one, and::
ran parallel with the main road, and led nowhere, as•
the gate at its end had been proved to be locked for
eight or nine years. The lane was only used by Per—
sons who possessed property close to it, and not for
any public purpose A person was called by the
plaintiff; who stated that he had repaired the road at
the expense of the parish, but the waywardens proved
by their books at the trial that this was not so. Tim
case was tried before Mr. Justice Coltman, and a ver—
dict was found for the plaintiff.
Lord DEDImAN said they would consult Mr. Justice
Coltman.

<vas at least an assumed implication either of the
rightful possession of the property by the vendor, or

part, and compelling the Howe to anchor. Every
endeavour was made, but in vain, to retake the
Howe in tow. The Terrible ultimately anchored
ahead of the Howe, keeping her fires up until morn-
ing, when both vessels again weighed, the Howe for
Madeira, under sail, and the Terrible up the river.
The Terrible came into harbour this afternoon and
landed the marines, who have joined the division
head-quarters. The Rhadamanthus steamer sailed
this morning for the eastward with the men who
brought the Blenheim round to this port. The
Castor, 36, Captain Sir C. Graham, C. 8., arrived
this afternoon at half-past three o'clock, from the
East Indies.
SHEERNESS, Nov. I.—The Lucifer is to be pre-
pared for immediate service. The Salamander is to
be sent to Woolwich when ready to receive her
machinery. She will then return here to be com-
pleted for sea, and be prepared for immediate com-
missioning. The Cyclops is to be rigged and reported
when ready for commission. But ships are not in
future to be reported as fit for commission till they
are in every respect ready to receive their crews.
Mr. J. Eddy, boatswain, of this yard has been super-
annuated on a pension of 1251. per annum. He was
one of Nelson's boatswains, and was on board the
Monarch at the memorable bombardment of Copen-
hagen. He now retires after nearly 50 years in her
Majesty's service.
WOOLWICH, Nov. 2.—Myrmidon (iron steam-
packet), Lieutenant-Commandant C. F. Roberts,
arrived from Portsmouth yesterday, and is ordered to
be paid off. Stromboli (steam-sloop), Commander
Fisher, arrived here yesterday, having recently left
the squadron of evolution under Rear-Admiral Sir
C. Napier, C.B. This vessel has been in commission
about four years, but is not to be paid off; she is
ordered to be commissioned for service for about
twelve months longer. Violet (iron steam-packet),
Master Commander Sherlock, was docked yesterday,
to have her bottom examined.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY
(Sittings in Banco.)
1 NONATTENDANCE OF COUNSEL--FIELD V. NAC•

KENZIE-PUBLIC OFFICER.

Ur. WATSON attended to show cause why a writ
Of scire facias should not issue against Mr. John
Erook, on a judgment obtained against the defendant,
Daniel Mackenzie, as a public officer of the New-
castle-upon-Tyne Joint-Stock Banking Company.
Mr. Martin and Mr. Hill were understood to be
•»gaged on the other side, and a message was sent
to them, !requesting their attendance. The answer
brought back by the messenger was, that neither of
those Learned Gentlemen, who were engaged in other
Courts, knew whether or not they were engaged in
the case, but that they were desirous that it should be
Ildjourned until to-morrow.
The CHIEF JUSTICE said, when a counsel stated he
lid not know whether or not he was instructed in a
17, ,rticular case, the usual inference was that he was
nir it instructed ; and, as no counsel attended on the
cother side, he should order the case to be struck out
( ►f the list.

Mr. WATSON observed that it was customary, in
t kat case, to discharge the rule, with costs.
Rule accordingly discharged, with costs.
The court adjourned at half-past twelve o'clock.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice• Chancellor limoprr BRucE.)
IN RE D. E. COLOMBINE.
The last examination appointed herein for the 4th
li'ovember was this day ordered to stand adjourned
ti 11 the hearing of the petition to annul the fiat.
Mr. JAMES RUSSELL applied to have the petition
pl aced in the paper for the last petition day in this
to crn, and agreed that the respondents should be at
erty to file further affidavits against the petition
'Ti ;bin a fortnight.

The Lord Chancellor will give a Cabinet dinner
previous to the opening of Parliament.
GLUT OF FRUIT IN EDINBURGH.--The city is at
the present time supplied to an extraordinary extent
with green fruits, especially apples. Foreign plums,
green, are very plentiful, selling at 3d. per pound, the
one-half of what is usually charged for those of home
growth, but the latter are finer eating every way. The
more favourite descriptions of pears are high priced,
selling at 6d. per pound. American grapes are plenty,
selling at 7d. per pound. Last week English apples
were carted about the streets and cried like "caller
herring" at id. a forpit, greatly to the joy of the ju-
veniles, who, braving the fear of cholic and British
cholera, rushed eagerly to receive the delicacy in their
bonnets. The accession of fruit and fresh vegetables to
the ordinary fare of the people, must, when these edibles
are used in moderation, tell favourably upon the general
health. Scurvy was beginning to show itself under the
fare rendered necessary by the absence of potatoes and
other culinary vegetables, but since their appearance
we have heard of no complaints. The supply of potatoes
in the city is abundant, and the article is generally
good ; but the price is so high as to render the better
qualities beyond the reach of the poor. It is but a few
days since that the best potatoes were selling at ls. 2d.
per peck ; good descriptions may now be bad for 10d.—
Edinburgh paper.
DREADFUL SUICIDE.—About half-past nine o'clock
yesterday morning, a man unknown, of middle stature,
dressed in a black coat and vest and corduroy trousers,
called at Mr. Farrell's, Temperance Coffee-house, No. 4,
Cazneau-street, and asked for the key to look at the
next house, which was to be let. The key was given to
him by a female, but as it was not returned, she went in
about an hour afterwards to ascertain the cause, when
she saw the door of the empty house a-jar, and having
gone into the front parlour, saw the key lying upon the
chimney-piece. She closed the window, which the man
must have opened, and went out, locking the door after
her, supposing all to be right. About half-past three
o'clock, a person, having got the key to see the house,
found the deceased lying dead in a pool of blood on the
floor of the first back bed-room, with his throat cut, and
a razor lying about a quarter of a yard from him. It
appeared that the deceased had, before committing the
dreadful deed, taken off his hat and coat, which he had
folded up and placed on one side. An inquest will be
held on the body to-day.—Liverpool Standard of yes
terday.

(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs).
IN RE CREASER.
-43, dividend meeting was held in the case of this
.bankrupt, who had carried on business as a merchant
In St. Mary Axe. The facts of the case are extra-
Wfinary. It appears that the bankrupt had been
ll_P;)ointed co-assignee of a person named Bond, who
4a(.1 kept the Bull Inn, Holborn. His co-assignee
ass Mr. Ovenstone, who was recently tried for the
dl'
aqierate attack on Mr. Crawley, of Mark-lane.
:!'sing out of the bankruptcy of Bond. On
representations of Bond the business was
pr tied on for the benefit of the creditors, but being
rei,4ved by Bond's representation they became liable
rent, taxes, &c., &c., and the bankrupt lost up- '
wards of 5001., whereupon he declared himself bank-
p 4 and obtained his certificate forthwith.—A divi-
arid will be declared in a few days.
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE SPICER AND POULTON.
oTo-day a meeting of creditors was held under the
at issued against these bankrupts, who had carried
4 business as paper-manufacturers.
h The proceeding had been carried on under the
411kruPtcy up to the declaring the dividend, but on
Plication the dividend was postponed in order to
rf, the bankrupts an opportunity, under the 6th and
George IV., to supersede the fiat, nine-tenths
th toe creditors preferring taking a composition rather
force a sale in the present state of commercial
creditors present agreed to accept the
—IN
eh.,position, and signed the resolution necessary to
Aron
le the bankrupts to supersede. This course of
eeding is very unusual ; and,
f, Ile Learned COMMISSIONER at first doubted his
Vviar to adjourn the dividend for such a purpose.
Wc' months further time was ultimately granted.

MILITARY OUTRAGE.—Last night, about half-past
eleven o'clock, a picket of the Royal Marine Artillery
went through Oyster-street in pursuit of a prisoner who
has escaped. Imagining that he was concealed in the
house occupied by Mrs, Fennell they knocked at the
door, but the inmates being all in bed they were refused
admittance. The picket immediately :burst open the
door with the butt end of their guns and entered the
house with drawn swords, to the great terror of the in.
habitants. Their search proving quite ineffectual, the
picket proceeded through the premises into a house in
White Hart-row, and searched there. The whole of
this time the lost man was standing under a doorway
opposite. Inspector Way had to be sent for before
the soldiers would remove from the house.—Portsca
Advocate.

CRIMINAL TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND BRE-
MEN.—A letter from Bremen, of the 25th ult., informs
us that on that day was published there the treaty con-
cluded on the 10th of July, between France and Bremen,
for the reciprocal extradition of criminals. The extra-
dition does not apply to political offences, or to cases in
which there is a prescription.
110 P INTELLIGENCE.—MAIDSTONE. —The hop-
picking, we learn, was not entirely over till Wednesday
last, when Mr. Browning, a large grower in this neigh-
bourhood, finished his plantation. The duty is expected
to be published to morrow. From all we can gather on
the subject, we strongly suspect it will be rather above
than below our
,correspondent's calculations. Our only
rule in :these matters is to give as accurate an estimate
as possible.—Maidstone .Journal.
A WARNING TO TIMID DEPOSITORS.—The follow-
jug paragraph, which we copy from the Liverpool
ought to operate as a caution to the parties who were
last week in such breathless haste to draw their small
deposits out of certain local banks, reckless of the mis-
chief which their conduct occasioned to public credit,
and the interests of the town and district. Our con-
temporary says:—A farmer, who resides near Fazakerly,
and who had 2,0001. in Leyland's bank, at Liverpool,
went thither on Monday week, and loudly demanded his
money. He was told he had not tho slightest reason for
alarm, and had better let it remain. This rendered him
suspicious, and he said, " Noa ; my wife said aw mun
hey it, an' aw will hey it ; soa give it me." His money
was handed to him, and he returned home. That very
night, it is said, some adroit Liverpool thieves burst into
his house and stole the money.

ROBBERY IN AN OMNIIIUS.—Last night, between
nine and ten o'clock, Mrs. Lawrence, of 89, Sloane-
square, Chelsea, was plundered of her purse containing
531. in gold and Bank of England notes, whilst riding in
a❑ omnibus between the Bank and Charing-cross, by a
fellow who suddenly quitted the omnibus near St.
Clement's-churchyard. When Mrs. Lawrence detected
the robbery she instantly informed the conductor, who
pursued him and raised an alarmed ; but the fog favoured
his escape, and he got clear off:

QUICK TRAVELLING.—The up express train did
not arrive at Reading station on Thursday morning till
nearly twenty minutes after it was due, but to make up
for the delay the steam was " put on " in such a style
that the distance between Reading and Paddington
was accomplished in 36 minutes, being as nearly as
possible at the rate of a mile a minute!—Berks Chronicle.

COURT CIR R„
WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—The Royal Family took
walking and pony exercise this morning in the
grounds adjacent to the Castle.
Prince Albert, accompanied by the Marquis of
Exeter and Sir Charles Wood, enjoyed the sport of
shooting this forenoon. His Royal Highness was
attended by General Bowles and Captain the Hon.
Alexander Gordon.
The Bishop of Oxford left the Castle to-day.
Lord Alfred Paget has arrived at the Castle, and
has relieved Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps in the
duties of Equerry in Waiting to the Queen • and
Captain the !ion. Alexander Gordon has arrived, and
has succ,,,eded Lieutenant-Colonel Seymour in the
duties of Equerry in Waiting to his Royal Highness
Pri-nce Albert.
The Earl of Morley, Lord in Waiting, left the
Castle this morning; Mr. R. Ormsby Gore, Groom
in Waiting, also took his departure to-day.
The royal dinner party at the Castle this evening
included the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, the
Earl and Countess of Dalhousie, Lord and Lady
Beauvale, and the Right Hon. Sir Charles and Lady I
Mary Wood.

.er Royal Highness the Duchiss of Gloucester
honoured Lord and Lady John Russell with a visit
yesterday afternoon, at their residence in Richmond
Park. Her Royal Highness partook of a dejeune.
Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Joseph, Mr. Bell, Mr.
Early, Mr. W. Williams, and Mr. J. Wilson, a depu-
tation from St. Marylebone, on the subject of mendi-
cancy in that parish, had an interview with Sir George
Grey yesterday, at the Home-office.
The Rev. Dr. Newport had an interview with Ear'
Grey yesterday, at the Colonial-office.
W-

INDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING.—The arrival of
the reigning Duke of Saxe-Cobourg being still uncertain
no arrangements have yet been made for the removal of
the Court to Osborne, as one of the chief objects of his
Royal Highness's visit to this country was the accompa-
nying her Majesty and his royal brother the Prince
Consort to that marine palace, and the probability now
is that the Court will not leave Windsor before the end
of this month or the beginning of the next. At pressnt
it is not expected that her Majesty will open the ensuing
session of Parliament in person. This morning several
of the Prince Consort's hunting stud were
sent over to Salt-hill, and at eleven o'clock his
Royal Highness, attended by Lord Alfred Paget and
Captain Gordon, left the Castle in the mail phaeton to
meet General Wemyss and the harriers at Mason's-
farm in that neighbourhood. The hares were plentiful
and the sport excellent. His Royal Highness and at-
tendants returned to the Castle at two o'clock. Her
Majesty and the Court are now in mourning for Count
Hugo Mensdorff, eldest son of Count Mensdorff Pouilly.
He died at Godfeaberg in the 42d year of his age. He
commanded a regiment of Curassiers in the Austrian
service. His mother was the eldest sister of her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Kent, and of the late Duke of
Saxe-Cobourg.
The Lord Bishop of London held an ordination on
Sunday last in the chapel within his palace at Fulham,
and ordained the following named persons:----Deacons—
Thomas Adolphus Bowden, 8.A., Magdalen Hall, Oxon;
William Thomas Bullock, 8.A., Magdalen Hall, Oxon;
Henry Irwin Cummins, RA., Gonville and Caius Col-
lege. Cambridge; Arthur Denne Hilton, B.A. Wadham
College, Oxon; Edward John Selwyn, 8.A., Trinity
College, Cambridge; John Francis Baynkam, 8.A.,
Christ College, Cambridge; and Allen Page Moor, 8.A.,
Trinity College, Cambridge--on letters dimissory from
the Archbishop of Canterbury. Priests— William
Farmer, 8.A., Trinity College, Dublin; Siegmund Wil
helm Koelle, Church Missionary College, Islington ;
John Christian Muller, Church Missionary College,
Islington ; and William Armstrong Russell, 8.A., Tri-
nity College, Dublin—for the colonies. William Harvey,
8.A., Brasenose College, Oxon; and Brenchley Kings-
ford, 8.A., Exeter College, Oxon—on letters dimissory
from the Archbishop of Canterbury.
A diabolical letter was received by the Mayor of
Rochester, on Monday morning, couched in abusive and
disgraceful terms, and ending with the recommendation
to insure his life, as well as his house, warning him that
both were in danger. A similar disgraceful epistle was
also sent to Captain Baker.
COURT OF SEWERS, GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday, at
the meeting of the Commissioners of the Court of
Sewers, Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair, the report of
the sub-committee, which had been appointed to draw
up a memorial to the Court of Common Council, pray-
ing of the Corporation to apply to Parliament, in the
next ensuing session, for an Act to give the Court of
Sewers additional powers, so as to enable them to
compel the landlords and owners of property to open
a drain into the common sewerage of the City of
London, and thus improve the sanitary condition of
those neighbourhoods at present without a drainage,
was brought up. In support of the proposed applica-
tion, it was shown that some of the sewers, on which
several hundreds bad been expended, were completely
useless, from the landlords refusing to avail themselves
of the improvement. The memorial was unanimously
agreed to, and ordered to be presented to the next Court
of Common Council.
Tan FOG.—Last evening the metropolis generally
was visited with one of the densest fogs that has oc-
curred here for several years. All navigation by the
various steamboats and other craft on the river was sus-
pended. The scene in many parts of the metropolis
was of a singular character, the dim shadow of vehicles
and passengers flitting through the fog, aided by the
lurid glare of the torches, borne by the numerous link-
men and boys who suddenly appeared in all directions,
creating an effect sufficient to alarm the timid pedestrian.
In the neighbourhood of the Elephant and Castle, and
other places where coaches and omnibuses are in the
habit of stopping, men with links were stationed at
short distances from each other, and all opposition by
rival omnibus men appeared, by common assent, to be
put a stop to, and owing to the caution generally ob-
served, no accident of a serious nature occurred. By
nine o'clock a slight variation:took place, the atmosphere
being much lighter, but this was only partially so, as in
many places towards the S. and S.W. it continued as
dense as ever.
DISINFECTION.....-EFFLUVIA PROM CESSPOOLS.—A
number of experiments were tried on Tuesday morning
at Hackney, in the presence of several eminent chemists
and other persons interested in discoveries of this nature,
by way of testing the powers of a disinfecting fluid, re-
cently invented by a Mr. Ellerman, for the purpose of
destroying the noxious vapours and gases arising from
drains and cesspools. The following gases are evolved
from animal and vegetable matter in a state of putrefac
tion and decomposition :—Sulphuretted hydrogen, car-
buretted hydrogen, and phospburetted hydrogen. The
effect of Mr. Ellerman's disinfecting fluid is to destroy
the ammonia, and to unite with these gases in a solid
form, in which state they remain in the mass of decay-
ing matter, instead of being emitted into the atmos-
phere. Among the experiments tried, was a small
quantity of the fluid poured into a tub full of night soil,

ful. Within a few minutes all the characteristic smell
of this matter had entirely vanished, leaving, it is true,
another in its place—that of the agent by which the
change had been effected, but which Mr. Ellerman stated
to be entirely innoxious, and which was merely tem-

BRODIE t AND CO.'s BANKRUPTCY.—SALISBURY,
Nov. I.—A circular was sent to most of the largest
creditors, of which the following is a copy:—" Salis-
bury, Oct. 30.—A fiat in bankruptcy being about to
issue against Messrs. Brodie and Co., of this city, a
meeting will take place on the premises, on the Canal,
Salisbury, on Monday morning, at ten o'clock, to obtain
the opinions of the creditors as to the persons to be ap-
pointed creditors' assignees. Your presence at this
meeting is particularly requested."—A great number of
creditors assembled. On the names of Mr. Fisher,
builder, and Mr. Woodland, currier (both of this city),
being proposed as assignees by Mr. J. Peniston, it was
unanimously resolved to recommend " those two gen-
tlemen as.the creditors' assignees, as men most fitting to
protect the general interests of the creditors, from their
business-like habits and moral integrity." Mr. Cobb is
also expected
.to be chosen solicitor, the majority of the
creditors present approving of the same. The next meet-
ing will be on Friday next, at ten o'clock.
DISEASE AMONGST POTATOES.—AS the season for
storing potatoes has now arrived, great care ought to be
exercised to remove any that are in the slightest degree

occurring in which the disease spreads quickly through
the heap, when covered up; and it must, we fear, be ad-
mitted, that though the plant has this year escaped
rotting in the fields, yet it has not yet recovered its
former healthy constitution; and that where the exter-
nal air is not freely admitted to them, and they are
kept perfectly dry, the putrescent state is very easily
induced, especially when the sound heap is exposed to
the contagion of diseased potati. es. Some of those sold
in our market are now found to be partially infected.—

iIA HINT TO MASTERS WHO WANT HEALTHY AC-
TIVE WORKSIEN.—If masters, in districts or towns de-
ficient in cheap baths, or even where such baths already
exist, were to create an increased demand for them by the
offer to purchase and distribute tickets, at low prices,
amongst their workmen, doubtless both masters and
workmen, as well as bath-keepers, would derive con-
siderable profit from the speculation. The moral
influence of the masters would thus be brought to bear
exactly upon those least likely, yet most requiring, to
seek the aid of the flesh-brush, the soap, and the bath •
and thus additional activity and spirit, as well as
and cleanliness, would be infused into the
workshop, health
