BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvAsrs.)
IN RE W. 11. GREEN.
CAUTION TO INSOLVENTS.—The insolvent, who had car-
ried on business in the country as a dyer, came up to obtain
his interim order and protection.
Mr. STURGEON appeared to oppose on the ground that the
insolvent had paid several of his creditors in preference.
The insolvent, in his examination, admitted that during
the last year he sold a small estate, on which he received a
balance of about 3504, the greater part of which he had
paid away to a few creditors after he knew that he was in a
hopeless state of insolvency, as he had offered 10s. in the
pound, but had not made any statement of his affairs to his
creditors. He had since sold off all his property.
The Learned COUNSEL submitted that, on this showing,
the insolvent had excluded himself from the benefit under
the Act.
The insolvent's attorney said that the insolvent had not
kept back but a small sum, and considered he was bound to
pay as far as he could.
His HoNotmt said that some of the Commissioners had laid
down a rule which he thought very just and proper, that
when a person chose when in insurmountable difficulties to
administer his own estate, that they would not afterwards in-
terfere. The insolvent ought to have come forwarel when
he had the money ; the petition must therefore be dismissed.
The petition was dismissed accordingly.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000
bales, including 500 on speculation. Prices were steady, but
the market was not animated.-Shares were flat again.
The general depression was felt at our sale to-day, and
prices are rather worse. Many of the companies do not dis-
solve so well as was anticipated, and parties will not purchase
in such a state of uncertainty. East Indian, lls.- Surrey

Most of the ship arrivals to-day are with old dates.
It is stated in accounts per West India mail from Belize,
that the season's cutting of wood in Honduras will be short,
owing to the want of labour and capital, and that an ad-
vance of 20 per cent. had occurred there in the price of ma-
hogany.
The balance of trade between England and America has
been in favour of the former recently, as the following par-
ticulars will show :-
" Quotations for sterling exchange rule much higher now
than at the same date last year, which can be attributed al-
most entirely to the position of our foreign trade; the tight-
ness in the Money-market, doubtless, has some influence.
" It appears, by the most recent official returns, that up to
the Ist of May, 1846, the importations were larger by several
millions of dollars than they were for the corresponding pe-
riod in 1845 ; and it also appears, that in the same period,
the exports this year have been more limited than last.
This change in the foreign trade of New York is very good
evidence that it has been the same throughout the country,"
The first importation of Pines has excited some interest,
and a numerous party of gentlemen atttended this morning
at Messrs. Keeling and Hunt's, in Monument- yard, for the
purpose of inspecting the fruit, which was in luxuriant con-
dition, and did credit both to the parties who have grown
them, and the enterprising brokers who have so carefully at-
tended to the landing and conveyance of them from South-
ampton to London. The facilities offered by the dock and
railway companies of that port are also of great importance
to the fruit trade, and indeed every branch of importation
connected with perishable articles.
The Funds have been very heavy again, and Consols at
the commencement of business were called 94%, though not
officially quoted under 95 to 1/s. The premium on Exche-
quer-bills has been 16s. to 21s. Bank Stock has been firm
at 2051 A. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
just been sold as low as 96%.
The Foreign Investments have been very quiet. Spanish
Three per Cents. realise 371/s, and Portuguese flour per Cents.
46 to 1/2. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 593/ to 60.
The share Market is heavy.
