EARTHQUAKES AT ZANTE.

Extract of a letter from Zante :—" On the 26th of February,
after three days and nights of incessant rain, attended by a
violent gale of wind, a most alarming shock of earthquake was
felt about seven in the evening. It was not so disastrous as
that of the 30th of October, but the duration was much longer,
the vibration being continued from thirty to thirty-five seconds,
while the former lasted only eight or nine. The consternation
was general and extreme. Ihe streets were in an instant
filled with the terrified people, eager to fly but not knowing where
to seek safety. In their houses they dreaded being buried in
ruins, in the streets they were drenched with rain. The churches
were all filled, it being the hour of the evening prayers to the
Virgin, offered up every Friday during Lent; and the cries
and confusion were terrible. Only a few houses fell either
in the town or the surrounding country ; others ware more or
less shaken, and, as the shocks recur daily, we have reason to

The Committee of the Stock Exchange having invited the
Chairman of the Committee of Portuguese Bondholders to an
intervies this day, on the subject of the Conversion of the

FACTS FOR WORKING MEN.

•
Heavily as the man with 4/. a week is burdened with
the Food Taxes, they are as nothing at all, in proportion
to his income, compared with what is wrung from the
hard toiling man who receives only IL a week. Supposing
him to be married, aid that he has three children, the
average number in a family, his weekly expenditure for
food will be at least three-fourths of his income, whit& that
of the man w'm has 2001. a year is not much more than
otie-fouith of tnat sum.
In the ealculati.ms we made last week, we showed that
the man who lives on 2001. a year pays about 201. to the
Food Monopolists, which is only one-tenth of his whole
income. In the statement we are about to make, it will
be sr en that his poor neighbour, who is ill able to bear
any taxation at all, is forced to pay one-fourth of hi, in.
cot, c to the Food Monopolists.
From certain inqtdries we have mace, we ascertain that
a man with a wile and three children, who earns 20s. a
week, will expend three.fourths of it in something like the
following manner:---

Flour, 2 dozen lb. at 2s. 3d 4 d.
6
°atm, al, 18kb 2 3
Potatoes, 2 score lb. at 103.
Milk, cane quart per day
Butter, lib. at 10d 1 2
Sugar, 11b 0 9
Cuffei, Boz 1 2
Bacon, 3lb at 7d 1 9

15 1
In many instances more butcher's meat will be consumed
and less bread stuffs, but in that case the sum total ex-
pended on food will be about the same. Here,
then, is 15s. Id. a week, or 39/. 143. 2d. a year,
expended upon food. Now, a: the price of every ar-
ticle we have named is enhineed at lerA one-third by
the ' Food Taxes, this poor man must pay 13/. 2s. Bd.
a year out of his 521., while his more fortunate and
more comfortable neighbour pays only 20/. out of his 2001.
a-year. And yet, with such obvious facts as these, which
must stare every working man of common sense in the
face, bt every meal to which be and his family may sit
down, the agents of the landowners have the assurance to
assert, that the maintenance of the Food Monopoly is " a
Labourers' Question !" More wonderful still is the melan-
choly fact, that there are thousands of working men whom
that very monopoly has brought to the verge of starvation,
and who, notwithstanding, are found at every public meet.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, APRIL 6.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
IN THE MATTER. OF MESSRS. ROBINS AND WILMA MS.
The bankrupts were the extensive and well known ca 'Tiers
of London-wall. The case had been already frequently Ores-
tigated before the Court, and proceedings touching the es.`-ate
strere pending in Chancery.
A long discus ion was entered into concerning the transfer
of certati detl-ts due to the bankrupts, and effected by them to,
Messrs. Dixon, bankers, of Chancery-lane, for moneys ad-
vanced, in which the solicitor to the fiat, the official assignee,
with several creditors and their legal advisers, took part, but it
Mr. Edwards, the offic..
was without public ititer.,'st•
11 assignee, having stated that he
considered the balance sheet now before the Lord Commis-
sioner to be as perfect as circums;an,-.es admitted, the bankrupts
were allowed to pass their final ex,wination, the dividend
being adjourned sine die, as the Chancecv suit prevents the
assignees from interfering with the bankrupt 's assets.

QUEEN- SQUARE.

Robert Marshall, a powerful looking man, described as
lamplighter to the Equitable Gas Company, was charged
with assaulting Henry Prior Farr, a respectable looking
mechanic about 60 years of age. The complainant stated
that on the previous evening about six o'clock he was
passing throughthe Willow-walk, Pimlico, when observing
defendant lying in the road way in an apparently senseless
state he went towards him, and finding his face much cut
and covered with blood he wiped it with his handkerchief,
and fetching defendant's hat, which was lying at some dis-
tance, put it upon his head, and then raised him up to a
sitting posture. He had no sooner done this than the de-
fendant caught him by the skirts of his coat, and swore
he had robbed him of fourteen shillings. Complainant
told defendant he did not know what he was say-
ing, and left him. He had reached the Mon-
ster public - house, which is at the extremity
of the walk, when defendant ran up to him, and
struck him two severe blows in the face, the second of
which knocked him down, and defendant threw himself
upon him. With much difficulty he escaped into a house,
whether defendant was following him %shell a policeman
took him into custody.
The defendant said he was so drunk at the time, that
he did not know what he did, but he was certain he had
been robbed.
Mr. Barefoot, an Inspector of the B division said, that
the complainant was searched at the station-house by his
own desire, and only one sixpence was found upon him.
Mr. BurcaELL —I never for a moment supposed the
complainant would have committed a dishonest action, but
he has done a foolish one in interfering, though it was a
humane motive that prompted him to do so, with such a
fellow as the defendant, who has so shamefully trumped
up a charge of felony against him, and afterwardsso brutally
assaulted him. I shall fine him 40F., or, in default,
commit him for a month and hard labour.
The defendant was locked up.

GUILDHALL.

CAUTION TO TRADESMEN.—EIiza Harris, a young wo-
man, about 25 years of age, was placed at the bar, before Mr.
Alderman MA G NAY, charged with endeavouring to pass base
coin in the following ingenious manner :
Mr. Less. 3 Langdon, stationer, of No. 46, Newgate-street,
stated that the prisoner came into his shop and asked fo• a six-
penny bottle of ink, with which she was served, and gave half-
a-crown in payment, out of which she got. two shil-
lings change. She then asked if it would mark li-
nen, to which he replied in the negative ; and she
said if that were the case, it was no use to her, laid
down 2s. and requested to have the half-crown back.
Having been served a ,imilar trick the day before, he took up
one of the shilling pieces, and found it to be counterfeit, upon
which the prisoner immediately snatched it from his hand and
swallowed it.

She was remanded to Saturday to have the attendance of Mr.
Powell, the Solicitor to the Mint.
Three men named Homes, Roberts, and Clements, were
charged with robbing their employer, Mr.;William John Roper,
iron and brass founder on Snow-hill.

It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor was in the
habit of buying large quantities of cask•, and Clements, who
was a cooper, used to supply him. When a dozen of casks
would be delivered to the other two prisoners at the stores in
Blacklong-alley, two, or perhaps three, would be returned, and
again sold at the premises on Snow-hill. The prisoners were
remanded to Friday.

that squadron will have to perform, according to the

with the Russian ships in the event of the Sultan requiring
the aid of the naval forces of the Two Powers for the de-

HAMLET'S BANKRUPTCY.

Tuesday morning a special meeting of the creditors
under this fiat took place before Mr. Commissioner
Evans, at the Bankruptcy Court, when Messrs. Fry
and Loxley, solicitors to the assignees, attended, with
Mr. Cockburn, the barrister, for the purpose of exa-
mining witnesses as to the execution of a trust-deed,
and the proceedings connected with the same, given by
the bankrupt in 1834.

Mr. HUDIFREY attended as Counsel for the trustees.
The circumstances were that, in the year 1834, the
bankrupt being in great difficulty, he executed an as-
signment in trust of all his debts, securities, stock
iu trade, and freehold and leasehold estates, to John
Linnott, of 9, Cursitor-street, Chancery-lane, gold-
smith ; William Taylor Abut, of St. James's-street,
Clerkenwell, refiner ; John Gibbons, of King-street,
Clerkenwell, silversmith ; and William Elliott, of
Compton-street, silversmith ; for the benefit of them-
selves and other creditors, whose names were signed to
the deed, and who thereby agreed, in consideration
of such assignment, to receive the amounts of their
respective debts by equal instalments, payable at 12,
16, and 24 months. Amongst the property so assigned
were the bankrupt's premises in Princes-street, sub-
ject to a mortgage of 3,2001. to George Samuel Ford,
an attorney ; all the interest of the Honourable
Robert King in the " lordships, castles, dismantled
abbeys, advowsons, tithes, lands, Sze.," in the county
of Roscommon after the dcath of his father, the
Right Hon. Lord Lorton, assigned to Hamlet, by
way of mortgage ; and two bonds of the Right lion.
George Hamilton Chichester, Earl of Belfast, torsecuring
the repayment of 23,059/., and 11,2.51/. 13s. There
was also included in the deed a debt of 6,0001., due
from the estate of the late Duke of York ; another of
10,246/., due from Sir George Bowyer,Bart. ; and a
third of 10,000/. due upon the joint and several bonds
of John Lindsey Crawford and Robert Lindsey Craw-
ford. In addition to tilts.; securities so assigned, there
were ten shares in the Kensington Canal Company, and
all Mr. Hamlet's valuable books and paintings. •
Mr. COCKBURN, on the part of the assignees, de-
manded from the trustees an account of their collec-
tions and payments under the trust-deed. They were
bound by that deed to keep proper accounts, and ought
to be in a situation to show them. It was lout fair to
preoume thr,t, as the whole of the debts then due were
to be paid within the two years, that the trusts ha:lnm
duly executed, and that the trustees could not now claim
any interference with the bankrupt's estates.
No account was produced ; and

counts and transactions in which they had been ea-

vestigation.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.-The market, yesterday, was, if possi-
ble, worse than those of the three preceding To• Ways ;
the demand which existed last week for 40-inch shirtings
had subsided; and goods and yarns of all descriptions
were exceedingly difficult to sell, even at declining
prices. In consequence of this very discouraging state of
the market, many of the spinners and manufacturers are
talking of short time, and several isolated firms, in dif-
ferent parts of the country, hare already adopted it.
Hitherto, however, no general agreement for that purpose
has been made, except at Stockport.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, APRIL 19.
There has been a good attendance of buyers in the market
to-day, and somewhat more business done than on the
preceding Monday, at somewhat lower prices. The wool
market has been heavy, and prices rather giving way,
which has had its influence on the piece market.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, APRIL 20.—Last week we
reported a dull market, but this was more unfavourAble,
there being few important sales effected in any description
of goods. Probably this arises from its being too late
freely to purchase light goods, and too early to buy for the
fall and winter trade. However, prices are firm in suitable
fabrics ; and business in the warehouses, if not brisk, is not
discouraging. Nor is there any great scarcity of employ-
ment, most of the mills working full time.—Manchester

CANDIA.

The Sud of Marseilles, in its Levant correspondence,
has some further details concerning the affairs of Candia,
and states that, on the sth ult.. the Consuls of England,
France, Austria, Russia, and Greece, met at the Gover-
ncr's residence, and drew up the following resolutions
We, the undersigned Consuls, in the presence of Capt.
John Laurence, of her Britannic Majesty's ship Hastings,
called upon by his Excellency Mustapha Pacha, Governor
of Candia, and in his presence, to consult on the measures
to be taken on the subject of the emigrant Candiotes, and
the inhabitants who have joined them in arms, have re-
solved :—Two of us shalt go without delay and bring
in English ships such among the emigrants as form the
Epitropi (commissioners). They shall be informed that
the Governments of the undersigned entirely disapprove
of their arrival in Candia, and that all those of the coun-
try who have answered their appeal must lay down their
arms. The emigrants must deliver themselves up to the
British Commander to be placed on board a ship ap-
pointed by Mustapha Pacha, in which they shall remain
at Suda, under the protection of the British tl.g, until
orders shall be received from Constantinople ; or, if they
prefer it, they shall quit the island immediately. His Excel-
lency Mustapha Pach4 promises pardon to such of the in-
habitant; as shall lay down their arms, and a safe conduct
to all such emigrants as shall submit. He will also give
sate conduct for the departure and raturn of the Epibopi,
who must quit the country with the ether emigrants. In
case these persons should not submit, the Commandants
and consuls shall prepare a proclamation in order to make
publicly known their disapprobation, after which the
Pasha vitt be at liberty to take measures as he may think
fit. This proclamation shall be submitted to the approval
of Captain Sir David Dunn, who is detained on board his
ship by indisposition. This procea verbal has been drawn
up at the residence of the Pacha, by the undersigned, th i

On the 14th, the five Consuls, after having made a report
to the Governor of the sitting of the previous day, held on
board the Hastings, when the Greek Commissioners had
refused to give any satisfactory explanations of their inten-
tions, issued a joint proclamation to the inhabitants, con.
demning the proceedings of the insurgents, and declaring
that they gave up to the severity of the Ottoman Govern-
ment all who should attempt to disturb the established
order of things.
