IMPORTATION OF CAMELS.
A s miff ABOUT BATTY, THE EQUESTRIAN.

We have mentioned elsewhere the arrival, per the
Achilles, of two camels from Smyrna. These were
purchased through the agency of Mr. Hall, of the
Oriental Company's office, for Mr.. W. Batty, the
spirited proprietor of the Amphitheatre erected by him,
at an expense of 30,0001., on the site of the building,
formerly Astley's, destroyed by fire five years
ago. Mr. Iran has a commission to purchase
six more camels, and two elephants, for Mr. Batty,
to take part in some of the Oriental specta-
cles got up at the Amphitheatre. The two brought home
by the Achilles are Syrian camels, four years old, the
female being in foal. They ara of moderate height, not
reaching the full size till eight years old, and these being
much less than the Arabian Proper, and much more so
than the native Indian camel. The latterwill rise from the
ground with a ton weight on his back! The cost of the
Syrian camel is not more than 30/., but that becomes
1001. when freight and all charges are paid. They are
collected in Syria, much in the same manner as horses
in England, from breeders in particular localities, and
are purchased from them at 101, or even less;
but, of course, increase in charge according to
breed and distance to he conveyed. Mr. Batty came
down to Southampton to superintend the landing of
the camels, and as his friend bugler has his circus in
the town, he lent them for his public procession
and for an evening's exhibition in the circle.
The procession was rendered very imposing.
A gaily-painted caravan, drawn by splendid co-
loured horses, contained a fine band, followed by lady and
gentlemen equestrians on very fine horses, and the rear
brought up by the camels, which were certainly the only
symmetrical and elegant-looking animals of their species
we ever saw, owing to their slender legs and beautifully
curved necks ; the hump was not particularly protrube-
rant, and the body not dissimilar to a large red-deer.
The colour was a pure fawn. Their attendants, being a
couple of heavy Hampshire stable fellows, dressed in
bed-curtain costume intended for Eastern, caused much
fun. Finally, there followed two poneys, one of which
was the smallest we ever beheld, about the size of an
ordinary Newfoundland pup. We have mentioned above
that Mr. Batty built his Amphitheatre at a cost of
30,0001. Of that sum he laid down 24,000/. cash of his
own, and paid off the other 6,000/. very soon after-
wards. Besides that large sum in ready money, his stud
and properties were very valuable. Yet Mr. Batty be-
gat business on his own account, not above twenty years '
sgn, with but 51, the hard savings of an apprentice to
a riding-master in a travelling circus. his first decided
advance from mountebanking (selling cloth and other
goods by a species of lottery, the company being at-
tracted by the performance of a single horse in a circle
in a field, now exploded) was in Southampton, where he
" picked up " very considerably. One of his best bar-
gains for a horse at that time was with a late proprietor
esf Bevois Mount. Even at that early time, when shil-
lings were of more account to Batty than pounds are,
or at least need be to him, now, he conceived the idea
of breeding for himself, and that a new patterned horse.
He observed that the piebalds, and blotched, and be-
daubed horses were common, and with great judgment
and good taste he selected the mare and sire of almost
all his present stud, whose beautiful spots on a grey
ground are as handsome as those of the leopard. The
cost and privation in business which the acquisition of
this stock caused for s.)nie years was very great, but the
return has been enormous. We mention this fact as in-
dicative of Batty's foresight. We may add to this no-
tice, that ho set out in life with a determination to com-
pel people to respect him. Unlike many other travelling
exhibitions, his accounts were always settled before he
left the town, and those of his people also. He was,
therefore, always welcomed back again. In his instance,
as in many others of successful adventure in a precari-
ous profession, it will be found, on inquiry, that recta-
-Jude and perseverance have overcome every disadvantage
oke original position.—H.mpshire Advertiser.

LONDON ROYAL MARIMIE
INSTITUTION.

The fifty-fifth anniversary dinner of the Royal Mari-
time Institution, for relief of decayed master mariners,
took place Wednesday evening at the London Tavern,
Bishopsgate-street. J. Thomson Hankey, jun., Esq.,
presided. The table was furnished with all the deli-
cacies of the season, and the wines were of the choicest
vintage. Mr. Toole, jun., acted as toastmaster, and the
hilarity of the evening was much promoted by the ex-
cellent glee-singing of Messrs. Hobbs, Hawkins, and
Machin. The guests numbered about one hundred.
The cloth having been drawn, and Non Noble Domine
sung,
The CHAIRMAN proposed the "Health of her Most
Gracious Majesty the Queen," observing that he was
sure the toast would meet with an enthusiastic reception
in such a company as the present; for if there was any
class of men who—without meaning offence to any other
portion of the community—were pre-eminently distin-
guished for their loyalty to their Sovereign, it was the
mariners of Great Britain.—(Hear, hear.)
The toast was drunk with every demonstration of
respect.
The other loyal toasts usual on such occasions having
been duly honoured,
The CHaramax. proposed, " The Army and Navy,"
prefacing the toast with a few suitable observations, in
the course of which he called attention to the fact of the
day selected for that festive gathering being the ever-
glorious anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar.—(Hear,
hear.) The day had been purposely selected out of com-
pliment to the seamen connected with the merchant
service, who on that memorable occasion, now forty-ene
years since, had discharged their duty quite as admirably
and quite as effectively as the mariners serving in the
royal navy.—(Cheers.)
Lieutenant RODGERS, R.N., returned thanks. He had
received the rudiments of his naval education in the
merchant service, and owed his promotion in the royal
navy, at an unusually early age, to that fact. He
hoped that the mariners of both services would ever keep
in mind Nelson's memorable exhortation on Trafalgar
day, " England expects that every. man will do his
duty." Amongst the duties of mariners he classed the
obligation of contributing, as far as in them lay, to
promote the interests of such institutions as the pre-
sent.—(Cheers.)
Song by Mr. Machin—" The flag that braved a thou-
sand years."
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of the evening,
" Prosperity to the London Maritime Institution," took
occasion to allude briefly to the past history and future
prospects of the charity. The institution had been
founded so far back as the year 1792, and was princi-
pally indebted for its existence to merchants connected
with the West India interest—an interest which, al-
though now comparatively insignificant, was then inti-
mately and extensively connected with our colonial rela-
tions, and indeed with our shipping interests generally,
for almost every West India merchant was then a ship-
owner. The charity had been productive of the most
beneficial results to many parties, and on referring to its
books and records he was surprised to find how uumerous
were the instances of men who had been themselves
original subscribers being necessitated by the pressure
of unforeseen adversity to appeal to its funds for relief
in their hour of distress.—(Hear, hear.) He deeply re-
gretted to perceive how small was the number of perma-
nent annual subscribers. It was really lamentable to
think that so few of those master mariners who traded
regularly to the port of London should have entered their
names on the subscription list; but he attributed it to th.
fact of the existence of the society not being as generally
known as it deserved to be.—(Bear.) He wc.3 sure the
if it was generally known it would be generally patro-
nised, especially by seamen of the merchant service, fo'
they were the cla-s whose interests would be &nest pro•
muted by its prosperity. Ile could not mlti-stand ;los,
any master mariner, of provident habits, who had any
iiffect'on for his wife and family, could withhold 11;s sup-
port from such an institutior, and he hoped that when
they became better acquainted with its merits, and were
made more fully sensible of its claims upon their favour-
able consideration, they would be found more anxious ti.
contribute to its welfare.—(hear, hear.) lie was in-
clined to think that some modification in the rules aim
regulations of the institution, whereby the rate of sub-
scriptions and donations would he 1-osered,might perhaps
Le desirable, hut this he only threw out as a hint to the
cornmitte-e.—(Hear, hear.) Iu conclusion, he had onl.
to say that the institution was one in which he felt, the
liveliest interest, and he would always consider it i;
duty inctitnhAit on him to promote its welfare as far
in him lay.—(Cheers.)
Mr. GEORGE F. YOUNG proposed the health of Li..
Chairman, to whose ex, rtions in behalf of the instil u;iue
be alluded in terms of high eulogy.
The toast was very cordially received.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks in appropriate terms.
Mr. MOULDS proposed " Prosperity to the &idyl)
Colonies."—(Cheers.)
Mc. J. ALEX UNDER HANKET proposed the health of
" The Elder Brethren of the Honourable Curoporation
of Trinity House," coupling; the with toast the name of
Captain Proben.—(Loud cheers.)
Captein PaGPEN acknowledged the compliment, and
observed that there was scarcely a member of the corpo-
ration who was not also an honorary member of the Ma-
ritime Institution.—(Cheers.) Tile corporation took the
deepest interest in the prosperity of the institution. and
would leave nothing undone that was at all practicable
to ensure the stability of so intwresting and valuable a
charity.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Shipping Interests of
Great Britain."
Mr. LYALL returned thanks.

The health of the Stewards having been proposed and
duly honoured, the company separated at eleven o'clock.
In the course of the evening the Secretary (Mr. Wat-
son) announced that subscriptions for the year just
Gntered on had been received to the amount of about
350/. Amongst the subscribers were the following :
The Hon. Trinity Corporation, 105/. ; the Chairman,
10!. 10s.; a Friend of the Chairman, 10/. 103 ; J. Alex-
ander Hankey, 101. 103. ; Charles M`Gerrold, 51. ; S.

LEOMINSTER.—The Rev. J. Crewkerne, of Trinity
College, Dublin, a gentleman of high Church principles,
has been appointed Vicar of this parish, in place of the
Rev. G. Woodhouse, deceased.
FIRE IN ROTIIERIIITIIE.—A fire broke out on Wed-
nesday morning, between 8 and 9 o'clock, in Rother-
hithe- street, which was likely to lead to serious conse-
quences. It took place at Gaston's turpentine establish-
ment, in the camphine house, by the bursting of one of
the discharge pipes. The flames proceeded with such
fearful rapidity as to annihilate everything in their pro-
gress. It was, however, happily arrested by the active
and energetic assistance of the people in the neighbour-
hood, who bravely plied the engines of the Commercial
Dock Company. Much injury had not beers sustained.
SINGULAR AND FATAL ACClDENT.—Wednesday an
inquest was taken by William Carter, Esq., at the. Farm
House, Stumble Hole Common, Horley, Surrey. on the
body of Benjamin Harman, aged 14 years. The deceased
was a servant in the employ of Mr. Oxley, of Dean Hope
Farm, Horley. On Monday last the deceased had been
to a distant meadow to fetch a drove of sheep back to
the farm house, and on the way home he had to pa- s a
bridge across Dean Hope Brook, at the foot of which
was a pond of water which covered the roadway, caused
by the recent heavy rains. The deceased, on reaching
this spot, found that the sheep refused to pass through
the water. The deceased, after a few minutes' con-
sideration, seized one of the sheep, with the view of
dragging the poor animal through the pond, which was
only a few inches in depth, thinking the others would
follow it, and, whilst struggling with the sheep, he fell
over the end of the bridge into the brook. His brother,
who was standing by, raised an alarm, and endeavoured
to save him, but the current was so strong, that it carried
him some distance down the brook, where he disappeared.
Search was made for the body, but it was not found for
upwards of two hours. The jury returned a verdict of
" Accidental death."

THE JOCKEY' CLUB AND THE NEWMARKET AND
CHESTERFORD BAlLWAL—Wednesday a vary full meet-
ing of the members of the Jockey Club took place, at
which the following resolutions were passed :—" The
directors of the Newmarket and Chesterford Railway
Company having at a special meeting, convened for the
purpose on the 18th day of October, 1846, laid before
the stewards and members of the Jockey Club, the plans
and sections of the proposed extensions from Newmarket
to Thetford, and from Newmarket to Bury, with a
branch to Ely, and the same having been duly examined
and considered, it was resolved unanimously that the
plans and sections of the railway from the Newmarket
station eastward are very preferable to any that were
submitted to the Jockey Club last year, and are ap-
proved accordingly. That the Newmarket and Chester-
ford Railway Company are entitled to, and will receive,
the support of the Jockey Club in proceeding to Parlia-
ment for the above extensions, in preference to any
other company, both because the Newmarket and Ches-
terford Company have most satisfactorily carried on and
are prepared to further carry out the views of the club
in obtaining the Act for the lines from Chesterford to
Cambridge and Newmarket ; and because, as it appears
to this meeting, there is no other company having so
legitimate a claim to the extension, or in whose hands
they could be so safely and beneficially entrusted."
SALE OF AN ESTATE IN SURRST.-- On Tuesday
was disposed of by auction, at the Auction Mart, by
Messrs. Winstanley and Co., a freehold estate situated
in the parishes of Crainhurst and Tandridge, Surrey.
It was about twenty-four miles from London, and com-
prised the mansion, with several farms, and 47.5 acres of
meadow pasture, arable and wood land, realising an in-
come of about 630/, per annum. There was also a corn
tnuted rent charge inclu led, from nearly the whole re-
inainder of the parish of above 1,400 acres. It produced,
after an active competition, 16,750/.
MATENC E.—RELIGIOUS TOLERATION.—We learn
from the Univers Israelite, that the Israelites of that city
have just sustained a heavy loss in the death of Rabbi
Leo Olinger. The deceased rabbi, a man of the old
school, was beloved by ill the members of the commu-
nity ; and by his amiableness, his influei ce, and his
se:Jacity, he prevented the ard,nt conflicts which, et!mer
towns of Gerinsey, separate thLi orthodox from the refomi
party. The funeral of the deceased rabbi furnished a
rare example of religious tolerance. Among the pro-
cession following the venerable Jewish ecclesiastic to the
grave; were the heads of the Catholic and ProteAant
clergy ; Bishop Kaiser, of the former, and Dr. None 4,
weiler, Archdeacon of the latter.

RUSSIAN AMMUNITION.—We have on previous oc-
casions mentioned tho arrival of shots and shells from the
Russian Ports of Odessa into this country. Another
arrival of this kind has just taken place, consigned to a
private individual, by the vessel named the Mary Isabella,
which has mitered the London Docks, also from Odessa,
having 3,419 shells and shot on board.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, October 21.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
B. LOUIS MEYER ROTHSCHILD'S BANKRUPTCY.

The bankrupt, who was one of the parties failing
during the numerous stoppages in the jewellery trade
last year, including Messrs. Emanuels and other wealthy
firms, appeared to-day before the Court on the question
of certificate. He is described as a diamond merchant,
carrying on business in Great Queen-street, Lincoln's
Inn- fields. His debts amount to about 8,0001., and his
liabilities to about 7,0001., while his assets have realised
about 3,5001.

Mr. Sturgeon opposed for Mr. Jessel, one of the as-
signees, and Mr. Lawrance for several other creditors.
Mr. Cooke supported the bankrupt.
The ground of opposition pursued by Mr STURGEON
chiefly referred to the suspicious nature of a transaction
with a person now abroad, named Schlessinger, and ex-
cessive expenditure. Mr. Sturgeon also charged the
bankrupt with having previously been unfortunate at
Copenhagen, and not trading under the same name as he
was now known by in London.
Mr. LAWRANCE took up the question of stock, and ar-
gued when the bankrupt passed his last examination. The
Learned Gentleman contended that if the account of
stock was correct the bankrupt's profits were over-rated,
and did not warrant his expenditure, whilst such pur-
chases as those involved in the statement of 6,5001.,
which now prodnced little more than 3,0001., proved him
a reckless trader. On the other hand, if the account of
stock was incorrect, then there was good ground for
believing that fraud had been committed. In either case,
the bankrupt could not hope to get his certificate imme-
diately, seeing the doubtful and suspicious circumstance
connected with his failure.

The bankrupt was then examined. He still persevered
in adhering to a statement he made at a private sitting,
of having parted with a considerable amount of property
under threat to Schlessinger, at the time of the " great
panic" in the jewellery trade. Explaining the allegation
of passing under an alias when in Denmark, he swore
that his proper name was Rothschild, though he did not
take it up till he came to England. His business in
Copenhagen was carried on in the name of Meyer. He
failed there as a linendraper, having originally been in a
mercantile house. When he first came to London he
purchased Manchester goods on commission, and after a
little time began" to dabble" in precious stones. At first
his dealings were very trifling. They afterwards in-
creased, and in progress of time he turned his attention
selely to the trade.
By Mr. CoonE—His creditors in Copenhagen were
quite satisfied with his conduct. His assets at first paid
12s. in the pound, and he had since discharged the other
Bs. (A Hainburgh paper was here produced, with an
official notice on the subject, dated January, 1844.) It
was a satisfaction to him to be able to state that his na-
tive creditors since his arrival in London had consti-
tuted him their agent. his present failure was owing
to the general difficulties of the jewellery trade last
year, when Messrs. Emanuels and other houses sus-
pended payment.
A question was mooted respecting certain moneys paid
to two of the assignees shortly before the bAnkruotcy,
and which was alleged to be the reason of their sikne(
in the present occasion.
Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said he was perfectly
sarisfi-d that those payments were correct, and the as-
sertion made no impression on his mind.
Atter a lengthy and able address from Mr. Cooxr,
who went through the charges seriatim, characterising the
ipposition as ♦indictive in the extreme, and unsanc-
iioned by the body of the creditors.
Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said, the most serious

dlegation made against the hmikrupt rose from the ex-
raordinary discrepancy occurring in the amount which
'le stated he paid fur his stock and the value put upon
tby c..mptent persons. The bankrupt stated that his
.to k cost him about 6.5001. Some pArticular cre-
dtors, to whom the stock was submi'ted, valued it at

1,8001. Arothe-:" party, Mr. fllogg, who was represente.l
o have exterviin exprit nee in the trade, th6nght that
:fit were brought to public sale the stock would not
.ealise more that'. 3.60 a, although, when examined, hu
n'haitted that lfJ or 15 per cent. might be added to that
imount. This extraordinary depreciation led to a sus•
icion that the rtock was not actually the same as that
'knight, it being possible to conceive that with things of
so great a value in a little space, it would be exceedingly
~isy to substitute other stones of different value, colour,
fracture to mske appearanc,s favourable. The bank-
.upt had ben subjectid to severe examination in ord,r
o ascertain whether such substitution had or had not
:alcen pl-ice, and he (the Learned Commissioner)

rlt hotn.d to sa', from %hat had been elicited it
violence, that ho believed no substitution had been

nade. So far La exonerated the bankrupt from that
_:ilarge. But in -_owing to the conclusion that t o sub-
,iitution had be*:7. made, and to account for the extraor
Ituary diff :relief; in value which appeared in the stock,
he (the Commissioner) was inclined to believe that the
-xplanation given by one party during this inquiry had
erne weight in it., viz , that the bankrupt having the
elvantage of a largo stock took out the best stones and
eild them, so that the stock as it came into tho hands of
she assignees war not a fair sample of what it had been,
but was merely the refuse of stock after the best had
been parted with. It had been stated before the Court
hat, with the exception of a few articles, such as manu-
.

lictured cameos arid other jewels, which varied in
value according to fashion, the several kinds of stone.
Arero not liable to great fluctuation. It therefore re-
,ulted from that conclusion, that the statement or profit
m the bankrupt's balance sheet was not a fair one.

ind insutii.iieni to jastify his expenditure. The next
very important feature was the transaction with

.i.:l;lessinger. This was a most sin;ular affair, though
't was corroborated in a measure by a party who had
ix,en examined. The bankrupt's wife, it must be re-
.narked, had given her testimony on this subject with
!;r*at firmness and propriety ; and, had corroborative
,vidence not been aft ,rd,ml in explanation, he (the Com-
missioner) should have regarded it as being one of these
'abrieated romantic tales of burglaries, omnibus rob-
treries, and highway losses, sometimes resorted to by
bankrupts for balancing deficiencies or concealing pro
party. The story told concerning Schlessinger was very
iinrobable, but still there were circumstances about the
ease which induced him (the Commissioner) to believe
that the bankrupt had not forged it ; but, while acquit-
ting him of that crime, he must say the bankrupt had
been very negligent and most culpably guilty in suffering
-s man to commit, according to his statement, all but
felony, without seeking the aid of the police. That he
should have parted with his property without at first
discovering that the receipt was not signed, and also
That, for the purpose of covering fraud, it was ante-
dated, betrayed most exceeding negligence on the part of
the bankrupt, who knew at the time that he could not
meet his creditors. The fact of the project of the
1,0001. being abandoned by the very transaction, and
the logs of jewellery which he must have expected, if
sold by Schlessinger in Paris, would not be paid by him,
but used by Schlessinger for his own purposes, must have
convinced the bankrupt that his position could not be
improved by the circumstance. Such gross and cul-
pable negligerce as was herein exhibited gave grave
cause for suspicion; and though he (the Commissioner)
would not go to the extent of saying that he acted in
collusion with Schlessinger, still it was approaching in '
nature a fraud, and for such negligence he (the Com-
missioner) would have severely punished the bankrupt,
only he found that in his other conduct he had dealt
very fairly. The majority of his creditors seemed in a
manner to sympathise with his position. The few op
posing creditors had failed to make out a strong case
against him. lie had delivered up what property he
possessed; and it was tested by the certificate of a person
who investigated the subject, that in all instances tried
by way of experiment he did actually pay for his stock
the price ho named. His negligence, with the question
of expenses and profit, were the only points he (the
Commissioner) thought worth anything in considering
the act of punishment. On these he should suspend his
certificate for nine months from the time of the bank-
rupt's passing his last examination.

.Mr..Cooxi. applied to his Honour for the bankrupt's
protection.

Mr. Commissioner FONIILANQUE said he would allow
the protection, as there was no fraud. The certificate
was suspended on the grounds of culpable negligence in
suffering the robbery (for it could be called little less) by
Schlessinger to take place, and his expenses exceeding
what the Court considered his fair profits.
