British Plantation, only 300 hhds having found buyers at
previous rates. The public sales have consisted chiefly of
10,114 bags Mauritius, 3,134 bags Bengal, and 1,592 bags 30
cases Pernambuco. The greater part of which sold (except-
ing the Pernambuco), but went off very irregular from former
prices for the good and fine descriptions, whilst the low and
mid sorts must be quoted fully Gd to is 6d cheaper, the
greatest reduction being upon the very lowest
qualities : very low dark to good strong brown Mauri-
tius brought 32s to 445, low to fine
_yellow ditto
44s 6d to 545, and low to fine white Benares Bengal 50s to
565. The Pernambuco was chiefly taken in at 41s to 46s for
low brown to mid yellow, being rather above the value, but
subsequently have been partly sold under the bought in
prices. Privately 1,500 boxes white Havannah have been
sold at 29s Gd. The quantity of British Plantation landed

CITY of LONDON REGISTRATION.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. ARNOLD.)
On taking his seat this morning, Mr. Arnold, the
Revising Barrister for the City of London, delivered
the following decision:—
In going over the list of voters for the parish of St.
Peter-le-Poor yesterday, I observed the name of a
party, with the nature of the qualification and the de-
scription of the property stated in a similar manner
to those of Mr. Catherwood, and who had been ob-
jected to, and whose name had been expunged. The
name in question stands thus:—Robert Lewin Holt,
Upper Norwood, counting house Old Broad-street, being
a successive occupation with 3, Crown-court.
There was no objection against Mr. Holt.
In Mr. Catherwood's case the description of the quali-
fication stood thus:—

, (counting-house) Warnford-court, in:suc-
cessive occupation with No. 3.
It was proved that the counting-house he now occupies
was at No. 1, Warnford-court, and that he moved there
from another counting-house No. 3, in the same court.
I thought I had power to insert "No. I," as the
number of the qualifying property, now in the occupation
of the party, and also that the description " No. 3,"
might be "commonly understood" to mean No. 3, Warn-
ford-court, and that, so far, the party was not prejudiced
by these mistakes; but I thought, that as there was no
description of the nature of the qualification at No. 3,
whether it was a " house " or a " counting house," &c.,
thatht this was an omission which I could not supply, and
Zi.. :he case fell within the principle of Bartlett and
ebbnun(ale Bar. and Am., 98), and I therefore expunged
riecess In dealing with Mr. Bolt's case, I found it
_ary, for
of alteratio Juy own guidance, to look at the powers
18 by which it by the 4th section of the 6th Vic., c.
or is enacted, that "wherever the place of
abode,
other des the
cription natureof the
of the qualification, or the local or
the property of any person shall be
wholly omitted, the barrister shall expunge the name of
such person from such list, unless the matter or matters
so omitted be supplied to the satisfaction of such bar-
rister before he shall have completed the revision of
such list, in which case he shall then and there insert
the name in such list," and as no evidence was offered
to supply the omission of the nature of the qualification
oAt f
.11,1 e description of the property occupied by Mr. Holt,
INo• 3, Crown-court, I was prepared at once to ex-
puDge the name. The part of the section was not
brought under my notice in Mr. Catherwood's case, but
upon consideration, I am now satisfied that its provi-
sions apply to such a case, and that my former decision
was incorrect, and I am the more glad that I
have had an opportunity of re-considering the
matter, as otherwise, there having been no notice
of appeal, in that case Mr. Catherwood would in my
opinion, have been improperly expunged from the list.
Having no doubt that I might make the alteration, and
read the description in the list in the names I formerly
mentioned, the only question was whether I could supply
/be omission of the nattrp of the qualification with re-
gard to the premises occupied by him at 3, Warnford-
court—viz., " counting house," and inasmuch as that
omission was supplied to my satisfaction, I think I ought
to have inserted the same, and that the name should have
been retained. I shall therefore re-insert it in the list,
ranking the necessary alterations. On the other hand,
in Mr. llolt's case, if the matter omitted is not fiow sup-
plied, his same must be expunged.

BANKRUPTCY,-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
IN RE

Mr. AS/MRS; a solicitor, applied to his Honour under
the following circumstances :—A. fiat had been issued
against a person who had been in partnership, and the
business was carried on by the continuing partners.
The bankrupt, however, found that it was impossible for
him to make out the accounts without having the books
of the partnership lodged with the official assignee.
This, however, was refused, and the present was an
application for an order from the Court for the purpose.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said he could not make
any such order, but the bankrupt and his accountant
were entitled to have free access to the books, and make
any extracts they thought proper.
It was then arranged that a room should be set apart
in the house of business, in which the bankrupt could go
through the accounts.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Frederick Smith was charged, before Mr. Henry, with
stealing a coat, value 21., the property of Mr. E mans,
landlord of the Edinburgh Castle Tavern, in the Strand.
Maria Kernes, servant to Mr. Emans, said that, on
Tuesday last, sho was going down stairs, from the second
to the first floor, and met the prisoner with a coat under
his arm going up stairs. She asked him what he
wanted, and he said he wanted Mr. Wilson. She told
him there was no such person there, and he went away.
When he was gone she missed a coat, which had been
lying across the bannister, and called out after the pri-
soner. He was stopped at the fcot of the stairs by the
barman.

The barman corroborated part of this statement, and
produced the coat. The prisoner had told him that
the coat belonged to Mr. Wilson, and that he was about
to leave it for him.

Mr. Emans proved that the coat was his property
and was worth 21.

Policeman F 68, proved that in March last he took
the prisoner into custody for stealing a tumbler and
two towels ; he was then committed for trial at the
Clerkenwell sessions, convicted, and sentenced to six
weeks' imprisonment. He then gave the name of
Charles Jones.

The prisoner said that tho coat was given to him by
a person who met him inthe streets, and offered him a
shilling to carry it. He was committed for trial.

CLERKENIVELL.—(THIS DAY.)
John Lloyd, a cab driver, was charged by the police
with being drunk and upsetting his vehicle, whereby he
endangered the lives of two persons who had hired it.
Police-constable 39 N,vsaid he heard loud screams in
the City-road about twelve o'clock last night, and on
proceeding towards the spot ho saw the prisoner lying
in the middle of the road, with his cab completely turned
over. As he came up, two persons had just extricated
themselves from the cab. llowever, •not liking the
trouble of attending in the Court that morning they
went away without giving their address. When the
prisoner got up he seemed rather stupified, but as the
constable thought this might have been caused by the
fall, he allowed him again to mount the box, but he
had scarcely got twenty yards before ho drove the cab
against a lamp-post, and again upset it.
Mr. BROUGHTON sentenced him to pay a fine of 305.,
or be imprisoned for one month.

SOUTHWARK._JTHIS DAY.)
James Dillon was charged before Mr. Seeker with
practising a very gross imposition on several tradesmen
in the vicinity of this Court.
It appeared that on the preceding afternoon the
prisoner went into a public-house and called for half a
pint of beer, for which he paid with a shilling. The
change was given to him, and in a few moments after-
wards he said the landlady had given him sixpence short.
Although the landlady was certain she had given him
the full change, she was induced to give him another
sixpence, he so pertinaciously declaring that he had not
received it. lle was afterwards watched into two other
shops, where he practised a similar imposition, and when
he was subsequently given into custody there was found
in his possession abundance of copper money. When he
was searched at the station-housethere were several small
articles found in his pocket, which he had obtained at
other shops, in each instance having given a shilling, and
although receiving his full change, declaring that the
shopkeeper had made a mistake, and given him sixpence
short.

In the course of the examination, it was stated that a
number of other charges of a similar description were
likely to be preferred against him; and for that purpose
he was remanded until to-morrow.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Charles Greville, a youth, about 14 years of age, was
charged by Mr. Thomas Graynall, landlord of the
Prince of Wales, Finsbury-market, as follows:
Mr. Graynall stated that at about nine o'clock last
night, the defendant and several other boys were making
a great disturbance before his door. He warned them
off repeatedly, they however replied to his admonitions
and threats by letting off a number of fireworks. He
then ran out with the cane in his hand and applied it to
the backs of several of them, and whilst doing so, he
distinctly saw the defendant throw at him the half brick
now produced which met him in the head, and for a
time completely stunned him. The defendant ran off,
but was captured.
The defendant did not deny having thrown the mis-
sile at the complainant, but said that the latter was the
aggressor, as he had come out of his house with the cane
in kis hand and beat the boys, who were quietly playing
in the road, with it, without any provocation whatever.
The mother of the defendant begged for mercy.
Mr. BINGHAM fined the defendant 305., or in default,
a fortnight in the House of Correction.

RUNNING MATCH.—On Wandsworth-common was
decided yesterday the match between the celebrated run-
ner and walker, Chas. Westhall, of London, and Brook-
son, of Garrett. The distance was half a mile, Westhall
giving Brookson ten yards start, and the amount of the
stakes was 201. The odds were in favour of Westhall,
whose easy victories over some of the fastest runners in
England, although at short distances, gave him a de-
cided advantage, in the estimation of sporting• men, over
Brookson, who is comparatively a novice. In the first
quarter of a mile Westhall had gained the ten yards'
start which he gave, and was by the side of Brookson,
apparently winning easy. Both exerted themselves to
gain a lead, but struggled nearly side by side until about
150 yards from home, when Westhall evidently ran wild
and unsteady, as did also his opponent, who, however,
landed himself first by two yards.
GREAT RACQUET MATCH AT BIRMINGHAM.---A
match for 501. took place yesterday, in the large Racquet-
court, at the Welsh llarp, Bath-street, Birmingham.
The players were Young, of Birmingham, and Mitchell,
of London. The best of nine games was the desired re-
quisite for the winner, and after some excellent play, and
several closely-contested games, victory decided in
favour of Young, who scored the five games to his op-
ponent's two.

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT NEWCASTLE.--A fire was
discovered about three o'clock on Sunday morning in
the extensive premises of Messrs. Richardson and Coxon,
linen-drapers, Grey-street and Market-street, Newcastle-
upon-Tyne. The fire was discovered issuing from the
roof, and an alarm having been given, the engines were
soon upon the spot, when it was ascertained that the
premises adjoining, occupied by Messrs. Alder, Dunn,
and Co., and known as the Albion House, were also on
fire, which appeared to be confined to the upper part of
the building. The engines were well supplied with
water, and the exertions of the firemen being admirably
supported by the police, the fire was subdued in the
course of little more than an hour. The upper part of
Messrs. Richardson and Colon's premises was used as a
warehouse, and nearly the whole of the goods in it have
been injured or destroyed. The upper rooms of the
Albion House were occupied as sleeping apartments, and
the fire is supposed to have arisen in one of these, and to
have spread to the next building.
USE OP THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TO THE
FARMER.—At a meeting of the North Stafford Railway,
held at Stoke-upon-Trent, Alderman Copeland, M.P.,
in the course of his speech, pointing out the advantages
derivable from railway communications, related an anec-
dote of a farmer in Chesterfield, who received infor-
mation, through the medium of the electric telegraph,
of an exceedingly short supply of sheep at Smithfield
Market. The farmer had a hundred head of sheep in
Smithfield on the following night.
Tflß SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.—On Sunday the
4th of October, the moon being full at 10 o'clock in the
evening, the wind blowing strong S.E. varying a point
or two occasionally, we had a very high tide, the
gale bringing the waves on shore with unusual vio-
lence ; the effect of hich was apparent when the tide
went back on part of the sea wall between Dawlish
and Teignmouth, we believe a short distance on the
Dawlish aide of the Parson and Clerk Tunnel ; the
only consequence is, that the trains have gone very
slowly over the part which appears to be shaken. The
train with third class passengers, which came up this
morning, had the benefit of a salt water bath for nothing;
the sea wall breaking the waves into spray, the wind
blows the spray ova. and on board the third class car-
riages in great style. We are informed by competent
authority, that there has not bee* a gale for many years
of such violence, at such juncture, or one that was more
calculated to test the stability of the South Devon line.
