COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 24.
IN RE HENLEY.
•
The bankrupt in this case was a broker in Savoy-
street, and the amount of his debts and liabilities have not
as yet been officially announced.
. This day being appointed for the choice of assignees,
a number of creditors came forward to prove their debts.
The greater number of those: submitted for the consi-
deration of the Learned Commissioner were claims aris-
ing out of promissory notes, against many of which it
was urged that they were accommodation bills, and that
there had been no consideration received for them.

The total amount of the claims proved at this hearing
was 1,0081., which was established by four creditors.
After a long discussion, Mr. George John Adlard,
printer, of Bartholomew close, was chosen assignee.

SECONDARIES' COORT, Dec. 24.

THE ASSIGNEES OF RILEY, A BANKRUPT, V. BINNS.

This was an action brought by the assignees of Thos.
Riley, printer, a bankrupt, against Dr. Bimis, the pro-
prietor of the Alligator, a defunct weekly newspaper, to
recover a balance of account for the printing, publishing,
advertising, stamps, paper, books, rent of office, and, in
fact, every other expense incurred in the management
and publication of the said paper during ten weeks,
from the 2d Janmay last, at the expiration of which
time, having bitten every person who had had anything
to do with, it, the Alligator terminated its existence,
through the instrumentality of Mr. Riley, who refused
to go on with the paper unless he were paid for the
expenses he had already-incurred.
The defendant-admitted his liability.
Mr. Corey, the gentleman who managed the paper on
the part of the proprietors, proved the entering into
a contract•with Mr. Riley for the printing and publishing
the paper.
Mr. Riley„wh9htiti since become a bankrupt, produced
the release of his assignees and his certificate, and was
consPquently a competent witness to prove the various
items in the account., which he did.
There was no defence offered, and the Jury found a
verdict for the plaintiff for 631. Is. ld.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

The driver of a Holloway omnibus, named Fisher,
summoned George Bishop, driving a Kensington omni-
bus for wilfully damaging his vehicle. .
From the evidence of Mr. James, who said the com-
plainant used very disgusting language towards the de-
fendant,

Sir P. LAURIE said he should dismiss the case. As to
the disgusting expressions used by this class of persons,
it was their particular idiom; to expect civility or de-
cency from them was hopeless. He wished they would
all adopt the plan which the omnibus-drivers on the
New-road do, and there would be fewer complaints. The
way they manage is, every driver pays in the amount of
money received for fares, which is in the evening equally
divided amongst them all, so that the man who only
gets three passengers is as well off as he who has four-
teen; and thus all competition and racing is prevented.

THE WEATHER.

(From our Evening Edition of Last Night.)
This is the coldest day we have had since the frost set
in on the 13th of December. Yesterday morning, at four
o'clock, the thermometer in the Zoological Gardens Re-
gent's Park, stood at 11 dog. Fahrenheit, being the same
temperature as!on Christmas at midnight at the same place
At Hackney, at seven o'clock the thermometer was 17
deg., and at nine o'clock stood 15 deg., the wind being
north, and rather inclining to the west. At noon, and at
four in the afternoon, a thermometer at Charing.cross in-
dicated 28 deg. Fahrenheit. The atmosphere was hazy
at, and after, noon, but gave no indications of a change in
the weather. The roads were slippery, and most of the
suburban omnibuses and other vehicles had extra horses
attacherto them. Although the external thermometer
at the Zoological Gardens indicated so low a degree of
temperature, in the giraffe-house the thermometer averaged
from 52 deg. to 54 deg. ; in the elephant-house, 44 deg.
to 48 deg. ; in the repository, 50 deg. to 53 deg. ; and
the monkey-house, 49 deg. to 52 deg. ; these being found
most conducive to the general health of the animals. It is
feared that this severe weather will prove very destructive
to many of the half-hardy and acclimatised shrubs and
trees in our public gardens, many of which have scarcely
recovered from the effects of the winter of 1837-38. _ _

In some places the Thames is frozen over. We have a
dense fog, as we had yesterday, which renders the naviga-
tion of the river exceedingly difficult, especially below
bridge. A number of collisions teok place amongst the
craft yesterday. The bows of a fishing smack, called the
Dart, belonging to Gainsborough, came in contact with
the stern of a collier brig, moored in Limehousc-reach,
and carried away a portion of her bulwarks; the fishing
smack was also much injured. The crowded state of the
Pool, in addition to the fog, proved a serious inconvenience
to to vessels passing up and down. The fields of ice which
Lad accumulated below bridge during the frost have,
within the last few days, almost entirely disappeared, and

ing place. Above bridge, particularlyai of Battersea,

PROFITS OF THE COTTON

TRADE.

(From the ManchPster Guardian.)
A very important and interesting case,was last week tried
before Mr. Sheriff Alison, in Glasgow, which threw con-
siderable light on the profits of the cotton trade. The
Trustees of the Clyde Navigatiim had obtained an Act of
Parliament, in virtue of which they proposed to encroach
on or remove the works of Messrs. Todd and Higgenbotham,
at Springfield. Mr. Todd, the original proprietor of the
works, is dead, and his representatives claimed for the land,
from which they derived a feu (chief rent), in addition to
his share in the value of the works. Mr. Higgenbotham,
who was formerly an inhabitant of Winchester, had at-
tr4cted the notice of Mr. Todd by his business-like habits.
at a time when the latter was becoming infirm, rather more•
than sit years ago. So imperfect were Mr. Higgen-
botham's ideas of the value of the concern when Mr. Todd
offered him a share to secure his services, that he stipulated
for a salary of 4001. per annum secured before he would
remove. His modest ideas were destined to no small sur-
prise and expansion.
Amongst the witnessea were several gentlemen from
Manchester, who spoke to the effect of removal in dete-
riorating a business such as that of Mr. Higgenbotham, and
attested the estimation which the firm enjoyed in the ma-
nufacturing world. Among these were Mr. Daniel Broad-
hurst, Mr. William Hall, Mr. Alexander Glendinning,
and Mr. Edward Grundy. We have neither room nor
space for the evidence of these gentlemen, but the details
furnished by the accountant were extraordinary. The
works at Springfield contained 16 000 spindles, printing
and Turkey-red dying works, and about twenty looms
The manufacture was entirely for the home market The
total number of hands employed was 889. The average
annual consumption of drugs and dye stuffs, from 1833 ,o
1840 inclusive, was 29,206/. Average annual amount of
furnishings for the same period was 4556/. The average
produce in the printing and dyeing department was
264,666 pieces, of 25 yards each. Sales 264,252. Leav-
ing a difference of only 414. _

'in money the average annual sales amounted to 151,204/.
In estimating the capital employed, we find that five per
cent. interest on the whole was deducted before the net
profits were taken ; and in the year 1840 that interest
amounted to 5,4001., representing a capital of 108,0001.
The interest, and all charges, including Mr. Higgen-
botbarn's 4001. per annum during the copartnery, being
deducted, the average annual net profits for the six years,
from 1835 to 1840, were 11,6891.
The compensation tendered by the trustees was the maa-
nificent sum of 6,250/. ; afterwards reduced to 6,2301.
The Jury found for fliggenbotbam 43,733/. ; for Todd's
executors 8,1191.
One thing is tolerably clear from this discloosure, that
even in the worst times money invested in print works, with
judicious management, may make a prodigious return.

London, England, 1841-01-09

The citizens of Canterbury arc involved in all the
bustle of a contested election.
As we predicted, Lord Albert Conyngliam has for
many announced his
.intention of resigning his seat.
His addriss was made public on Friday last. The
Reformers were immediately on the alert, and messen-
gers were dispatched to announce the intelligemle to
John Henniker Wilson, Esq., at his seat in Hampshire,
who had declared his intention of offering himself as is
candidate on the Liberal interest at the expected va-
cancy. Mr. Wilson arrived in this city on Monday
evening, and immediately issued an addres!:, and the
next morning commenced a canvass, which up to the
present moment is proceeding ai favourably as the Re-
formers could doire. Mr. Wilson's prin,liples are
those of a staunch Reformer, and likely to coi, lihate in
his favour all classes of the Liberal electors. aje loss
the support of Mr. Villiers and his friends. Lot,' Co-
nyngham's supporters one and all will as t matter' of
course render every aid to Mr. Wilson. The caridida,'e
selected for the struggle by tic Tories is the Hon. Ain
Smyth, son of Viscount Strangford, who has only re-
cently become known in this city by haviig filled the
office of Steward at the King's School Anniversary
Dinner and one of the Races.-ICe:rt

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MID-
LAND COUNTIES RAILWAY.

BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY NIGHT.-Intelligence was re-
ceived in the course of to-day of a serious and fatal acci-
dent which occurred on the Midland Counties Railway be-
tween 2 and 3 o'clock this morning. I learn from the
most authentic sources that a down luggage train left
Rugby for Derby at 20 minutes past 9 o'clock last night ;
but, owing to the severity of the weather, between Lei-
cester and Derby the engine pipes were frozen up, and the
train consequently unable to proceed. It is said that when
the stoppage took place a signal lamp was placed in the rear
of the train ; but be that as it may, the precaution, if adopt-
ed, appears unfortunately to have proved of no avail. The
mail-train from London started from Rugby to Derby (the
point at which it leaves the Birmingham line) at 1 o'clock,
p.m., being then 3 hours and 40 minutes behind the goods,
train. The distance between Rugby and Derby is between
forty and fifty miles. Notwithstanding the advance of the
luggage train, and the precaution said to have been taken
of holding out a signal light when within a few miles of
Derby, the mail down train ran in upon the luggage car-
riages, and the consequence was that the engine of the
mail train was thrown off the trams, and the engine driver
and stoker precipitated on to the line, and both killed on
the spot.
These statements will, I believe, be found to be a cor-
rect outline of the details of this distressing affair. Tee
are, however, two points which appear extraordinary, and
will require explanation. The night was extremely clear
and bright; and it is natural to suppose that even in the
absence of a signal light, the unfortunate deceased might
have noticed the luggage train, then stationary, before
they unhappily came in contact with the train which caused
their death.

Again, it appears strange, seeing the advanced position
of the luggage train, that its conductors, instead of holding
oat a mere signal, did not despatch messengers to apprise
the mail train, which they knew must be upon them, of
tho impediment which was in their way.

CHEAP PLA CE-GLASS, called SHEET
PLATE-GLASS.

The Sheet Plate-glass, made by a newly-invented Patent
process, is an article quite as good in quaiity as the British
Plate-glass, with the important advantage of being consider-
ably cheaper; affording the facility of glazing dwelling-houses
and public buildings with Plate-glass at a moderate cost. It is
also particularly well-suited for Drawings and Engravings.
Sold, wholesale and retail, by CLAUDET and HOUGH-
TON, at their Glass Warehouse, 89, HIGH HOLBORN;

TO CORRESPONDENTS.
We are obliged, by the letter of J. E-e, but be is
quite mistaken in supposing that we are of opinion that
ti.e r4.peal of the Corn-law would prove a. remedy for
the wrongs and grievances cf the millions. The Corn-
law, however, is that one special and palpable injustice.
which is the immediate cause of much suffering and
misery, and ought to be first removed. What may be done
or required afterwards will fall then to be considered.
Let J. E--e and all his friends aid the Corn-law Re-
peelers, and rely that success on that question will to
the herald of redress for many other r.i.ongs.

MARLBORO.UGH-STREET.
Wiliam Griffiths, an l'lsilua,u! about 50 years of age
she had been obliged to live apart from
hhn for several weeks past, but he having found cut
where she lodged, called on her on Wednesday eveninz,
and prevailed upon her to
.live with him again. She se-
was charged with assaulting his wife. The
cmoemaptlaoifnahnetr,stated that through. the
cordingly was about getting some tea ready for him,
when, without the slightest provocation, be struck her se-
veral slaps with his open hand on the face, and then sci Ling
the fire-tongs, inflicted with all his strength a most dread-
ful blow on the left side of the head nearest the temple,
which felled her to the floor, and for a time completely
stunned her. On coming to herself, she found.the blood
was streaming from her head, and the prisoner asw rend-
ing beside her, sharpening a knife, and threatening he
would butcher her, and she fully believed that he would
have taken her life, or dreadfully mutilated her, but that
her cries brought one of the lodgers to her assistance. oa
which the prisoner made his escape out of the house. He.
however, returned on the following morning, and sold off
all her furniture.
The lodger in question corroborated the complainant's
statement.
Mr. Los° Raid the case was such a serious one, that he
should not dispose of it in a summary way, but should
send it to the sessions.
The prisoner was accordingly committed for want of bail.
