BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE HODGKINSON.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said, that if an adjourn-
ment took place, the assignees must pay the costs.
The Solicitor said the bankrupt came up of his own
accord, and as his conduct had been anything but satis-
factory, it was hard to make the creditors bear the
expense.
The Learned COMMISSIONEA said, that although the
bankrupt came up of his own accord, the opposite party
were bound to be prepared. A bankrupt ought not to
be put to expense in such a case. The opposition was
withdrawn.

SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JemEs.)
BISGOOD V. DEMPSEY.
This was an action brought on a bill of exchange, of
which the defendant was the acceptor. The defendant
did not deny his acceptance, but pleaded that the bill
had not been endorsed by the drawer.

The Rev. Benjamin Pratt, of St. Giles's Chapel, St.
Pancras, was called, and proved that he knew Mr.
Murphy, the drawer of the bill, and received it from him
duly endorsed. He knew Murphy's hand-writing, and
had seen him sign other bills.
Verdict for the plaintiff.
This was the only defended case. Great inconvenience
arose in consequence of the parties in other causes. not
being present, and the cases were struck out of the list
and the jury discharged.
The SECONDARY observed, that in writs of inquiry,
the notice was, that they were to be executed between
eleven and ore ; the jury, however, would not be de-
tained, but if necessary, a jury of gentlemen in the
neighbourhood should be called together.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
A decent looking young man, named George Senan,
was charged with stealing a shawl, the property of a
poor Irish woman named Machale, residing in John-
street, Clerkenwell.

The woman deposed, that a few days ago the prisoner
came into her house on pretence of taking a lodging.
Having given her a deposit of a sovereign, he offered to
give a reference, and when she went for the pen and ink
the prisoner walked off with the shawl. On his departure
the poor woman discovered that the sovereign was bad.
Mr. Mosely, a merchant, residing in Hatton garden,
gave evidence as to the good character of the prisoner,
and said he felt confident that the prosecutrix was mis-
taken.
The case was remanded, but bail to the amount of 20/.
was received for the prisoner's appearance at this Court
on a future day.

CusTom-HOUSE.—It will be gratifying to the
friends of Mr. J. Rolls to learn that that gentleman bas, by
an order from the Lords of the Treasury, been restored to his
former situation of landing waiter in her Majesty's Customs,
and that all arrears of salary, amounting to nearly 1,000/.,
are to be paid to him, and that he is to be promoted on the
first vacancy.

FIRES NEAR SEVENOAKS.---OR Sunday and Mon-
day nights last, two fires were discovered in this neighbour-
hood. The first, at Mr. Wilmot's paper-mills, by which
about 3001. worth of paper was consumed. The fire, it is
alleged, proceeded from a flue. It was extinguished, with
some difficulty, without further. damage. The second con-

WAGGON ACCIDENT.— On Thursday morning,
..be-
tween five and six o'clock, a serious accident occurred to
John Harter, waggoner to Mr. Purkiss, of Bermondsey, who
was coming witn a load of malt from Kingston, when, in
crossing Clapham.crimon, it is conjectured that, falling
asleep as he was riding on the shafts, he must have tumbled
under the wheels, which passed over his legs and abdomen.
Some butchers, coming to market in a cart, picked the poor
fellow up, lie not having been missed by his son, who was
driving,, and they conveyed him to the hospital. Both of
his legs were fractured, and very slight hopes are given of his
recovery.

several smacks. A loaded brig is reported to have been on
shore on the Gunfleet Sand, and has since become a wreck.

Owing to the late boisterous weather, the arrivals of Eng-
lish Wheat for our markets this week have been unusually
small; and the show of samples of that article to-day was
very limited, and so little doing in it, that prices were almost
nominal. In the absence of English Wheat, a few retail
sales were effected in Foreign Wheat on Monday's terms.
The few parcels of fine Barley on sale produced late prices,
but the middling sorts hung on hand. We had inquiries for
superfine Malt, which sold readily at full prices. Oats were
held firmly, at a trifling advance; but the dealers purchased
only for their immediate wants. Beans, Peas, and Flour,
without alteration.

The supply of Beasts being somewhat extensive, and the
attendance of buyers rather limited, the Beef trade was in a
very sluggish state, at an advance in the quotatiors of 2d per
81ba. There were on offer 70 Beasts and 200 Sheep from
Holland. For Sheep we had a steady inquiry, and Monday's
prices were well supported. The number of Calves was small;
vet the Veal trade was inactive, at unaltered currencies.
Prime small Pigs sold firmly, other qualities slowly, at pre-
vious rates. Mitch Cows moved off slowly, at from 161. to
194 each, including their small Calf.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
With the exception of the best Kent Hops in pockets sel-
ling steadily, at very full prices, the Hop trade is inactive, at
late rates. The supply of most descriptions on offer is by no
means large.

COLONIAL.
StYGAR.—The market, owing to the holidays, has pre-
sented no feature, the public sales being suspended, but since
stocks are getting low, the inquiry privately is already ma-
nifesting itself, and a good business at remunerating prices
is likely now to be transacted.

COFFEE.—The market for this article has been firm,
though no general business has been done. Jamaica ord
and triage is 28s to 455, good to fine ord 47s to 645, mid 763
to 86s, and fine 100 s to 125 s per cwt. Bethke and Demerara
ord and triage have been 30s to 40s; fine mid, 68s to 80s.
Ceylon ord to good ord is 48s to 48s 6d; and Plantation,
52s to 82s; Mocha, 51s to 70s; Java, 35s to 595; Havannah,
32s to 50s; and Brazil, 30s to 35s per cwt.
CorroN.—This article has been steady.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is firm at 42s 3d per cwt. on the spot.

Rum.—There is no particular change.
TEA.—The demand has improved, but former prices are
current. The total amount of duties paid at London, Liver-
pool, Bristol, and Hull, in 1845, was about 31,000,000113 s.;
say 1,000,0001b5. more than in 1844.

This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a slater
in Western-street, Pentonville, came up for his certificate,
and was opposed on behalf of the assignees, on the
ground that he had fraudulently made away with the
whole of his property to one creditor. His debts were
nearly 2,0001.

The Solicitor to the assignees asked for an adjourn-
ment, until an action against the party to whom the
property was made over had been tried.

For the bankrupt it was urged that it would be much
more beneficial to the creditors if the certificate was
granted, as then the bankrupt would be a competent
witness.
