BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE SAMPSON GWYNNE•
In this case, which was under the Small Debts Act, an
attorney's clerk applied to the Learned Commissioner
under the following circumstances:—He stated that an
order of commitment had been granter] by Mr. Commis-
sioner Evans, under the Small Debts Act, against the
defendant; but it was with great difficulty he could ever
be seen, •as he was always denied. On Saturday the
officers saw him, and endeavoured to make a caption, but
the defendant got away. This morning they went
to the house, and were referred to a person who
answered to the defendant's name, and from their
previous view of him, they had no hesitation in
taking him off to Horsemonger-lane Gaol. It was,
however, discovered that they had taken the defendant's
brother, and they were so much alike that it was with
difficulty they could be distinguished. Although the
mistake was beyond all doubt, the Governor of the gaol
refused to discharge his prisoner, except under an order
from this Court.
The Learned COMMISSIONER referred to the Act, and
said that he had no power to interfere; he could only
grant it on an admission being made by the plaintiff or
his attorney, on the back of the order, that the debt and
costs had been paid.
The Clerk asked whether the Governor would not be
justified in discharging his prisoner without an order, or,
in fact, whether he could legally detain him, as he was not
the party mentioned in the order.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said he could give no
advice; they must use their own discretion.

GUILD HALL.—(T HIS DAY.)
A middle-aged man named Merry, was charged with
stealing an inkstand from the Court of Common Pleas,
Guildhall, where the Revising Barrister, Mr. Arnold, is
now carrying on the revision of the City Registration.
The prisoner was stopped by a policeman when in the
act of quitting the Court with his prize. He acknow-
ledged his guilt, to which he said he was driven by
want, an assertion evidently contradicted by the re-
spectability of his dress and appearance. Finding that
the excuse made little impression, he took another
ground, and said that he committed the theft " in obedi-
ence to a sudden impulse which he could not resist. He
had never felt such a sensation before." The latter con-
fession excited some laughter. He was ultimately re-
manded to Wednesday, that inquiries may be made into
his character. It may be observed that a little sharper
looking after such persons in the public courts and
offices is much wanted.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Michael Murphy, a tailor, living at No. 6, St. Ann's-
court, Soho-square, was charged this morning with as-
saulting complainant with scissors.
John King said the defendant came home this morn-
ing, between three and four o'clock, and pulled all the
bed-clothes off him. He got up, and asked him what
he meant by that, when he struck him a severe blow.
The defendant then pulled out a pair of large scissors,
and stuck them into his nose. He pulled them out, and
with one of the blades made a deep gash in his arm about
an inch and a half long. The complainant resisted him,
and, in attempting to twist the scissors from his grasp,
had his hand cut across.
The police-constable who took him into custody said
the complainant was bleeding much at the nose, and
there was a deep ugly gash on his arm.
The defendant said he found the bed-room dcor
locked, and it was not unfastened for a long time after
he knocked. The complainant also had cut him with
the scissors.

The MAGISTRATE said he had used a very dangerous
weapon, and he would fine him 44, or send him to prison
for six weeks.

WORSHIP-STREET'.-(THIS DAY.)
John 21PCartney was brought before Mr. Broughton,
charged with creating a mob, and violently assaulting the
police.

201 G stated that, on Saturday night last, about half-
past ten o'clock, he was on his beat in Horseshoe-alley,
Shoreditch, when he saw the prisoner in a most ex-
citeable state, in the midst of about sixty persons. Wit-
ness desired him to go home. Prisoner refused, but
witness, thinking that he would be quiet, walked off, but
as he was proceeding he suddenly received two tre-
mendous blows on the neck from the prisoner, who then
fastened on him, and both fell to the ground. Prisoner
then commenced kicking and biting witness, and, he be-
lieved, he would scarcely have escaped with his life, had
not a brother police-constable come up to his assistance.
The prisoner was then secured, but not without the ut-
most difficulty.
This statement being corroborated,
Mr. BROUGHTON said that the police must be pro-
tected from such ruffians as the prisoner, otherwise they
were of no use. He should commit him for three weeks
to gaol, with hard labour.

FUNERAL of THOMAS CLARKSON.
Yesterday, the mortal remains of Thomas Clarkson
were consigned to their final resting place, in Playford
Church-yard. The funeral was strictly private, for,
with the exception of Joseph Sturge, Esq., who
arrived unexpectedly, none but relatives took part
in the ceremony. Several gentlemen from Ipswich
and the neighbourhood were, however, present
to testify their respect for the memory of the
venerable philanthropist, and their sympathy for the
bereaved widow and family. The funeral cortege, con-
sisting of the hearse, drawn by four horses, and four
mourning coaches, each drawn by two horses, left Play-
ford Hall a few minutes past one o'clock. In the first
coach, which preceded the hearse, were Arthur
Bidden, Esq., and J. D. Harmer, Esq. In the
coach following the hearse were Thomas Clarkson,
Esq., grandson of the deceased gentleman, chief
mourner, the Rev. W. Dickinson, Mrs. Dickinson, the
Rev. Foster Maynard, and Mrs.Dyee. The next con-
tained Robert Buck, Esq., Alexander Haldane, Esq.,
John Corsbie, Esq., and Mrs. Corsbie. In the last-
were J. A. Hardcastle, Esq., and Joseph Sturge,
&:q. The procesSion was closed with the the
ri-
vate carriage of Mr. Clarkson, followed
by t
domestics of the establishment. As soon
as
outer gate of the domain was reached
the ca the
r-
riage of R. N. Shawe, Esq., with that gentleman inside,
fell into the line of procession, which was further
increased by the addition of the gentlemen
from the neighbourhood. In this order they
proceeded through the village to the churchyard,
passing, at every point, groups of the inhabi-
tants, whose respectful demeanour was a most gra-
tifying feature in the scene. Arrived at the church-
yard, some little time was occupied in drawing the coffin
from the hearse, owing to its great weight, and the
mourners having alighted, and entered the consecrated
ground, they were headed by the Rev. T. D. West,
Vicar of Rushmere, who read the beautiful burial service
of the Church of England most impressively. The
family vault, in which rest the remains of Thos. Clark-
son, Esq., barrister, the deceased's son, whose death oc-
curred in 1837, is situate near the door, in the south
side of the chancel. The coffin, containing besides a
shell and a leaden coffin, and covered with plain black
cloth, with a silver plate on the top, having the name of
the deceased and the
.dates of his birth and death en-
graved thereon, having been lowered into the vault, the
family returned to the Hall, and the spectators shortly
afterwards dispersed. The funeral was under the super-
intendence of Mr. Ray and Mr. Maplestone, of Ipswich.

CLOSE OF THE FIFTH DAY'S POLL.

What we stated on Saturday we can only repeat again
to-day—the cause of Alderman Wood and the cause of
the Livery is still in the ascendant, and no doubt can be
entertained that it will continue so until the end of the
poll. The public interest of the election appeared to be
greatly increased. Upon the hustings assembled at an
early hour the friends of Alderman Wood and Sir George
Carroll in greater numbers than had appeared upon any
former day, with the exception of the first, and the
evidences of a contest were more strongly marked, par-
ticularly towards the conclusion of the day's poll. The
usual language of approval and disapprobation was dealt
out in a less restrained manner by the crowd immediately
in front of the hustings, and the shouts in favour of
Alderman Wood were much more vehement, if possible,
than any with which the Hall has resounded since the
commencement of the election.
The poll of the fifth day closed at three o'clock, and
shortly after that hour it was announced to be as
follows :
Mr. Aleermaa Wood 1248
Sir G Carroll B5B
Mr. Alderman Hooper
Mr. Alderman Farneomb 1
Mr. Alderman Moon 3
The announcement was received with the most vehe-
ment cheering from a crowded hall, and the statement
that Alderman Moon had advanced two on the poll created
no inconsiderable merriment.
Mr. Alderman Wools then came forward to address
the Livery. It was a high gratification to him to appear
on the fifth day's poll in the proud and triumphant posi-
tion in which he then stood.—(Cheers.) For that
position he begged to tender to the Livery his most
sincere gratitude.—(Cheers.) It had been his intention
to hare said but little on that occasion, as it was his wish
to reserve himself to the last day of the election •, but
having read in one of the most valuable journals of the
country a statement reflecting upon his conduct in a
transaction to which he had many times alluded, he
trusted that the Livery would allow him to say a few
words, particularly as he found that that journal had
not been fairly dealt with.—(Cheers.) That statement
had been put in doubtless at the request of parties that
he would not name, and that journal with its usual
caution, and animated by that sense of justice which had
always distinguished it—(Cheers)—published it, but at
the same time stating that it would not vouch for its
correctness.—(Cheers.) Every public man was a legiti-
mate object of public animadversion ; and public con-
duct was fairly the text for the observations and stric-
tures of the press. The service rendered to the com-
munity by the practice was unquestionable; but when,
through the public vehicles of intelligence, misrepre-
sentations were made by interested parties, although the
prints themselves might be blameless, those who
authorised the publication were the more strongly re-
prehensible.—(Cheers.) Two gentlemen had in Thurs-
day appeared on the hustings, and made several state-
ments with the view of prejudicing his character with
the public. Those statements were brought forward in
an off hand manner; and, although he stepped forward
to answer them at the instant, one of the gentlemen left
the hustings and his work of mischief, without waiting
for the antidote to the poison with which he had
been charged.—(Loud cries of " Shame," and cheering.)
It was well known that in 1832 he had been called upon
to take the guidance of a suit on behalf of the Irish
Society—(Cheers)—in which that society was engaged
with the Skinners' Company.—(Cheers.) That suit con-
tinued in progress until 1845, and had occupied twelve
days in one court, fourteen days in a second, and six-
teen days in a third. The most unwearied attention to
the legal proceedings was indispensable, and he had
come to an understanding with the Irish Society that
his bills should be annually paid, for the expenses neces-
sarily incurred were considerable, in a case in which
such valuable interests were involved. He found it,
however, a matter of difficulty at all times to obtain the
payment of the expenses he was out of pocket, and the
payments, which were promised to be annual, degene-
rated into payments of two and three years' procrastina-
tion. Here Alderman Wood referred particularly to the
statement made in the Times of Saturday, headed
" Alderman Wood and the Irish Society," and denied in
the most positive manner the truth of the accusation
made against him by the writer of the statement, whom
he believed to be Mr. Anderton, the deputy-governor of
the Irish Society. (The statement contained a repetition
of the charges made against Alderman Wood by Mr.
Anderton and Mr. Taylor, but in a more detailed form,
and asserted, amongst other things, that he had not paid a
large amount of fees to counsel and their clerks, although
he had long since drawn the money from the society for
such purpose.) He again solemnly declared to the
meeting that in the whole of his conduct in the affair to
which the statement referred, he had shown the highest
degree of integrity and zeal, and that his exertions had
been crowned with the most unquestionable success.
But calumny was a detestable agent, that never slept,
and Mr. Anderton, the man who had in 1845 be-
smeared him with praises, which he knew to be much
greater than he deserved, now started up on a sudden
and turned round as his traducer.--(Cries of " Shame,
shame," and loud cheers.) The base attacks upon him
invaded the whole intercourse of his private life, and
his character was invaded in proportion to the good he
was endeavouring to accomplish for his fellow citizens.
lie trusted that the Livery would not relax in their ex-
ertions to enable him to overcome the efforts of the
slanderers who had been so indefatigable in their en-
deavours to deprive him of the good opinion of the
public ; but that they would come in numbers to the
poll until four o'clock on Tuesday, when the contest
would be at an end.—(Loud cheers.) The gratitude
that he felt for the position in which the Livery had
placed him, was almost overpowering, and he hoped be •
fore he met them on Monday that the questions which
had been raised against him would be completely
settled and disposed of.—(Cheers.) He begged of
them again, if they- found uncalled for attacks made
upon him, to suspend their judgment.—(Cheers.) They
had witnessed the attacks that had already been
made upon him.--(Cries of " We don't believe them.")
Those attacks had been published all over the world ;
he told them again and again that they were without
foundation.—(Cries of "We know they are.") He had
stated the whole truth that day, and he challenged
contradiction of it.--(Greet cheering.)
Mr. BENNOCK, a member of the Common Council,
then came forward to address the Livery. He would
not apologise for presenting himself to the meeting, for
in that hall he was aware that every Englishman was
heard with patience. He could not, therefore, resist
the temptation to give his opinion upon a contest which
had occasioned such excitement through circumstances
most discreditable to the city of London. In speaking
of the discreditable character of the circumstances at-
tending the election, he alluded to the conduct of the
irresponsible
which
they
w were
edy armed who i
hadn r e j
eexe exercised sea gentleman whod the veto with
had been twice returned to them by the Livery, as qua-
lified for the office of chief magistrate.—(Cheers.) And
why had they rejected him ? What reason had they
given for their refusal to select the choice of the Livery
for the office in which they wished to see him acting?—.
(Hear, hear.) One alderman said that Alderman Wood
was ineligible because of his connexion with joint-stock
companies.—(Laughter.) Now, if a connexion with
joint-stock companies constituted ineligibility, he should
be glad to be informed which of the aldermen were qua-
lified?—(Cheers and laughter.) He was merely calling
the attention of the Livery to certain facts which ap-
peared to him to he in the case before them most ma-
terial for their consideration. He knew that multitudes
had been ruined by the system of plunder adopted in
joint-stock companies ; that many individuals had not
only lost their fortunes, but actually were deprived of
the means of giving their families bread, by their con-
nexion with speculations of the kind. Success
.w-ould
altered the tone of such censurers. "Oh I but,, said
they, "Alderman Wood has got into pecuniary difficul-
ties by making the experiment." The wonder was, in
his opinion, boy a man who entered into speculations of
this kind continued to escape ruin at all, for it was well
known there were innumerable instances in which men
of integrity were sacrificed, while the basest of mankind
pocketed the money of which the former were plun-
dered. Those who made Mr. Wood an alderman
had a right to see him in the most elevated position. It
would, no doubt, be discreditable for a chief magistrate
to be dodged from post to pillar in consequence of pe-
cuniary liabilities and wants, but Alderman Wood had
promised by Monday to give a satisfactory refutation of
all that had been alleged against him, and to show that
he was in a condition to go through the high office he
sought with credit to himself.—(Cheers.) Alderman
Wood had stated, with reference to the trial in Ireland,
that a reversal of the judgment had been obtained. Those
who were opposed to the election of Alderman Wood
declared that no new trial had taken place, and that
there had been no such event as a reversal of
the decision.—(A voice—" They tell lies.") The
persons who circulated such calumnies deserved
punishment. They ought to be made amenable to the
laws. Alderman Wood had promised to show that his
contradiction of such statements was correct, and the
Livery would support the claims of a calumniated man
the more vigorously in proportion to the untenable na-
ture of the charges.—(Cheers.) Out of the present
question far more important questions arose than that
of the election of any particular individual to the high
and important office of Lord Mayor. That question was
the constitution of the Court of Aldermen. What was
thi bodyery would exercise the pri-
Court of Aldermen now
now ?--(Cheers.) What
mightgceO4; nisitttintuo pttoisobineesiOsfef
ttithleat
lilhve
were an irresponsible body—(Cheers)—it lay wills the
Livery to say whether they would be so any longer.—
(Cheers.) They were everything to the Livery before an
election—(Cheers)—but after one they snapped their
fingers at the men who called themselves the freemen of
London.—(Cheers, and cries of "We will stand it no
longer.") He hoped they would not, but how was the re-
medy to be obtained ? Easy enough. Mahe the Aldermen
come before the Livery every three years, to be re-
elected.—(Cheers, and cries of "We will.") If they did
that, there would never then be any difficulty as to who
should be the man to fill the civic chair.—(Cheers.) Ac-
cording to the present constitution of the Court of
Aldermen, if the Livery placed Alderman Wood at the
head of the poll by a majority of upwards of 2,000, that
Court could reject him if they pleased.—(Cheers.) Now
such a veto he contended ought never to exist, but if it
was to exist in the Court of Aldermen, let the members
of that Court be answerable to the Livery every three,
five, or seven years.—(Cheers.) The press could do
great things t :wards the reformation of the Court of
Aldermen, and he trusted that they would leave no stone
unturned to effect so desirable an object.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Hour called upon the Livery in the most em-
phatic manner to crowd to the poll on Monday. It was
but justice to the Livery that he should state that the
freemen householders returned the Aldermen, and with
them lay the election of the high office of Lord Mayor of
the city of London.
Thu Hall was then adjourned to Monday (this day),
at nine o'clock in the moining.

THEATRE ROYAL DRURY-LANE.
Mr. Bunn commenced his campaign here on Satur-
day night, with the opera of The Crusaders, and the
new ballet of The Offspring of the Flowers, of which
the sylph •like Flora Fabbri is the heroine. The plot
of the ballet is soon told. Estelle (Madame Theresa
Theodore) is about to be married to Prince Julian,
(Mons. Theodore), with the consent of her father the
Duke (Mr. Howell), but there is a certain Page,
Enrico (Mons. Bretin), who loves the fair Estelle,
and in consequence of his love is expelled from the
castle. The rejoicings for the nuptials go on, and
there is here introduced an excellent pas d'ensemble
by the corps de ballet, and a pas de deux by the be-
trothed, in which Mons. and Madame Theodore were
much applauded. The exiled page is conveyed to
Fairy Land, none of the denizens of which seem in-
clined to pay any attention to the forlorn lover. The
Queen, however, takes pity on his case, and from a
flower raises a Nymph, who is the very perfection of
his earthly love. The budding and blowing of this
beautiful flower Is admirably managed, and when
Ersile (Mademoiselle Flora Fabbri), the very
ideal of love, stands before him he forgets
his mortal love, and is fascinated by her trans-
cendental antitype. Here is introduced a pas by
Mademoiselle Flora Fabbri, somewhat resembling one
of the dances of the Viennoise children, which almost
induces him to forget the Princess; and then comes
a pas de schalls, in which the fair offspring of the
flowers completely fascinates him, a 3 she does the
audience, for it was rapturously and most deservedly,
applauded. Never did Flora Fabbri dance more ex-
quisitely. Then comes the pas de glace, a dance on
the ice, by Flora Fabbri, in which she sees her
shadow reflected in the iced surface, a la Cerito, in
the pas de r ombre. In the second act we are
again introduced to the court of the Duke—great
rejoicings are going on at the marriage of the Prin-
cess. The page is there, but completely cured of his
love for the mere mortal. There is a prize, inscribed
"To the most graceful." The page enters
leading in the Offspring of the Flowers ; Flora Fabbri
dances La Castigliana, an exquisite castanet dance,
and the prize is awarded to her by acclamation.• Thus
ends this ballet, the pearl chain running through and
stringing into one the pearls,which consist of the various
pas of which it is composed, and which, if they could
be brought nearer together by judicious condensation,
would make it, perhaps, one of the most popular
ballets that has ever been produced. M. and Madlle.
Theodore (who made their debfit last night) are ex-
cellent chcereographic artistes ; but Flora Fabbri is
the diesse—upon her fell the whole weight of the
ballet, and nobly did she sustain it. There was a
freshness about her dancing that was perfectly de-
lightful. Considering the great call there was upon
her physical powers, it must have been to her
a labour, but it was a labour of love.
She danced because dancing was to her a
language—the only language in which she could
adequately express her sentiments. It was for
her a perfect triumph. The success of the ballet was
complete, and it will run, no doubt, during the win&
of Flora Fabbri's engagement. The theatre has been
completely renovated during the recess, and a new
drop-scene, by Grieve, was exhibited for the first
time. It is very brilliant and admirable as a speci-
men of scene painting, but scarcely equal to the drop •
scene of Acis and Galatea, from the pencil of Stan-
field, which has been exhibited for the last—we will
not say how many seasons. It is, no doubt, now
" used up ;" last season it exhibited evident symp-
toms of decay, and Mr. Bunn has shown his taste in
giving us an entirely new scene in preference to

DR. BOWRING IN THE ISLE
OF MAN.
We have received a recent number of Mona's Herald,
which details with great minuteness the festivities which
have been got up at Douglas, in celebration of a visit of
our distinguished fellow townsman, the Hon. M.P.: for
Bolton. This visit, in which the Learned Gentleman
was accompanied by his son, the Earl of Clarendon's
secretary, was intended to have been private; but the
natives, who regard him as " their Island's best friend,"
and are grateful for his exertions in procuring their
municipal, legal, and commercial emancipation, were in
a fervent heat of expectation at the news of his arrival—
thronged the pier, went out in delegation-
boats to receive him from the Liverpool steamer,
and surrounded his barouche upon the pier, where
he addressed them, and again at Castle Mona. In the
evening bonfires and fireworks were displayed. The
next day (Friday 18th) Dr. Bowring proceeded to
Castle-town, and had an interview with Governor
Hope. Several deputations waited upon him, respecting
the harbour funds, highways registration, and other in-
sular affairs. The next day he visited Ramsey, where
he was entertained at a public dinner, W. Callister,
Esq., in the chair. On Monday, there was a dinner in
the Odd Fellows' Hall, Douglass, Colonel Campbell
of Raveradale in the chair. " The landowners
present" represented ten thousand acres of land.
The health of Dr. Bowring was given and responded
to in an impressive speech ; the health of Mrs. Bow-
ring and family was acknowledged by Mr. E. Bowring,
who proposed " the Ladies of Mona." Dr. Bowring
proposed the toast., "Popular Representation in the
House of Keys." In the course of his speech ho said,
" Here are in this island 50,000 people ; and it is impos-
sible they can continue longer without a voice in making
their laws—they can no longer be governed by a self-
elected body. We do not want the insular government
merged in that of England ; but this is what we want, to
have local rights and local interests controlled by local
bodies, representing the people. I respect the claim
which the Manx people make for their local institutions;
but I would have them assimilated to the intelligence
of the age. I hope the laws will still be proclaimed on
Tynwald Hill; but when the representative of Majesty
shall go there to Twynwald, carrying his act to be pro-
claimed, I want him to be able to say " This law was
made by yourselves—made through the representatives
of the public sentiment, and the will of the people."
The present state of things is absolutely intolerable. It
is not credible—it would not be believed elsewhere
that the advocates who may have been employed in the
process or cause sit as judges to hear the cause on ap-
peal ; besides, the blending of the legislative, executive,
and judicial powers can be endured no lnger. When
I mentioned the fact to one high in authority, of advo-
cates sitting as
judges, he seemed not to know the ex-
istence of the fact, and doubted its truth—well he might.
The public indignation will be aroused on hearing of the
usage, and it will not be tolerated—it shall not be tole-
rated—it shall be removed."— Western Times.
