BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANS.)

IN RE CLAY.-FAILURE FROM RAILWAY SPECULATIONS.
This bankrupt had carried on business in Cheapside,
as a warehouseman, and came up for his certificate.
The balance-sheet commenced January, 1847, with a
capital of 6,1341. He had previously been in partner-
ship with a Mr. Jansom.
The Official Assignee reported that the books were
very regular, and showed Dr. to Creditors, 601. 18s.;
ditto, secured to the full amount, 260/. Liabilities in
roer
respect of calls on shares held under the Birkenhead
Dock Company, and the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and
Cheshire Junction Railway, for which judgment had
been obtained by the company, 5,0751.65.10 d., the further
liabilities thereon, 5,5201.; credit- book debts, 6911.95. Id.;
p
8801. 17s. 2d. ; cost price of Birkenhead Dock
sharpes, ty,
6,5274 1 Is. 4d. ; other shares, 977/. 10s. ; the
latter consisted of 230 Cheshire, 30 Shrewsbury and Lan-
cashire, 301- paid; ten Northern Counties Union, 27/. Is.,
paid 55.: Eastern and Western, ,251., paid 35.; Phcenix
Fire-office, valued at 630/. ; and some shares in the
Droitwich Salt Company. The Official Assignee attri-
buted the loss entirely to the pressure for the calls.
There was no opposition, and his Hortoun granted
the certificate.

THE CROPS, &c.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—" We breathe yet." Wehave had a most
splendid harvest day, and should it continue for a few
days, which, at present, there is every appearance of, the
corn in this neighbourhood and the whole of the west of
England will be secured.
The potatoes are not so bad as reported, and, under
any circumstances, the crop of good ones will far exceed
that of last year.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A CONSTANT READER.
Bristol, August 30, 1848.

TUE Lose OF THE OCEAN MONARCH.—With re-
ference to several inquiries as to the'nationality of Fre-
derick Jerome, the seaman who distinguished himself so
much in saving the lives of passengers on board the ill-
lated Ocean Monarch, we have learnt from the Seamen's
Register-office at the Custom-house, that Jerome is a
native of Old, not New England, born at Portsmouth, the
14th of May, 1824, and that he first went to sea in the
year 1838. He has been seven years in the American
merchant service, and he obtained his registry at Liver-
pool on the 11th of June, 1846.

The Pengiero Italiano of Genoa, of the 24th, states
that no papers have arrived from Rome. As we have
received none either this morning, we have no means
of ascertaining the truth of the report we gave yes-
terday, that an insurrection had broken out at Rome.
The Tuscan papers contain no date from Rome
later than the 19th, on which day we learn that Count
LOVATELLI, Pro-Legate of Ferrara, has been named
Minister of War. A decree of the Lieut.-General of
the Kingdom, dated from Turin, 20th inst., offers a
premium of 10 per cent. to those who, within twenty
days, will have contributed their share to the volun-
tary national loan.

TUSCANY.
The Patria of Florence of the 21st announces the
arrival at Leghorn of the Princess LOUISA TERESA,
consort of the son of the ex-Duke of PARMA.
The Rivista Independente of Florence of the same
date states that the Marquis RIDOLFI has left Flo-
rence for Paris and London, on a special mission.

PUNCH-!
Our delightful and facetious contemporary Mr,
Punch has admirably enforced the necessity of a pro-
rogation of Parliament by one of his most felicitous
illustrations. What with the brilliant oration of Mr.
Disraeli and the pictorial wit of Mr. Punch, our Legis-
lators are having rather a hard time of it—they
will be fairly denounced into their holidays
by the one, and jeered into them by
the other. Richard Doyle, the gifted son of our inimi-
table 11. 8., is the artist who has illustrated in this day's
impression of Punch (No. 373), the daring sarcasms
uttered in the House of Commons yesterday by the
Hon. Gentleman the representative of Buckinghamshire.
The caricature, or we should rather say the historical
cartoon delineates Punch as he appeared when " Telling
the Members to go about their business." If only as a
daguerreotype of the House, the sketch would be inva-
luable, containing, as it does, not merely the portraits,
but the very vraisentblances of Lord John Russell,
Lord Palmerston, Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Lord Mor-
path, Sheil, Sir Robert H. Inglis, W. J. Fox, Cobden,
Muntz, Hume, Sir Robert Peel, Disraeli, Lord George
Bentinck, Colonel Sibthorp, Mr. Speaker, &c., &c., &c.
Is not this enough ? And yet there are more faces—
feces familiar to every frequenter of Westminster—
crowded'into the space of a few square inches by the
hand which is as skilful in portraying the goblins of
the " Chimes" of Dickens, the bees congregating about
Leigh Hunt's " Jar of Honey from Mount Hybla," or the
personnels of the great statesmen and debaters of the
century. The cartoon is crammed to overflowing with
satire, wit, drollery, fun, and through the mask of
this fantastic humour a deep earnest ptirpose.
