EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.—A public meeting of the
friends of this Association was held yesterday, in the large
room, Exeter Hall, every portion of which was completely
full. The Chevalier Bunsen, the Hon. and Rev. Baptist W.
Noel, Rev. Dr. Beecher (from the United States), Professor
Tholoch (of the College of Halle), and numerous ministers of,
every denomination of Protestantism, and from various parts
of Europe and &merica, were present on the platform. Sir
Culling Eardley Smith took the chair, and from his speech,
and those of the gentlemen who followed him, it appeared
that the great object of the meeting was the acknowledgment
of what was termed " the unity of the Christian Church."
A history of the Evangelical Alliance was entered into, and
its great era was declared to be the conference which took
place at Liverpool. It had been convened at the invitation
of some gentlemen in Scotland, and members of seven
churches of England, Wales, and Ireland, had, through dele-
gates, met their Scottish brethren on that occasion. Several
" topics" were dilated upon, this principle being involved in
all of them, viz., that the minor differences which existed
between the different sects of Christians ought not to prevent
them uniting in one great alliance.
NOBLE CONDUCT.—CHATHAM, AUGUST 24.—We
have much pleasure in recording the following humane act
of an officer of the Hound, in rescuing a fellow-creature from
drowning. This afternoon (Monday), about four o'clock, a
seaman on board her Majesty's ship Hound, fitting for sea at
Sheerness, accidentally fell overboard from the gangway into
the sea. The Commander, G. H. Wood, at the time was in
his cabin, and seeing the man struggling in the water,
sprang on deck, and, without taking off any of his uniform,
precipitated himself into the sea, and succeeded in saving the
life of the sailor; but the gallant officer was much exhausted
when he was got on board, and the seaman's life was nearly
gone.
TAY SALMON FISHERIES.—The fishing season is now
drawing fast to a close, and has every appearance of being
below an average year. The arrivals at Billingsgate, from
27th July to Bth August inclusive :—From the Tay, 668
boxes; Spey, 1,213 boxes ; Aberdeen, 706 boxes; Montrose,
390 boxes; Berwick, 265 boxes ; from Ireland, 499 boxes;
and from Norway, 3 boxes. Grand total at the London
market for 13 days—Scotland, 3,250 boxes; Ireland, 499
boxes; and from foreign, 3 boxes.—Edinburgh Warsaw
ROBBERY OF RAILWAY SCRlP.—Yesterday the police
received information that a gentleman had had his pocket
picked of a letter containing sixty-five shares in the Edin-
burgh and rcebleri railway.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, August 25.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
JOHN EDEN SPALDING'S INSOLVENCY.
. .

This insolvent, who is highly related, appeared before
the Court on his adjourned interim order. The former
proceedings in this case have been fully reported.
Mr. PETERSDORFF said he appeared on behalf of
Mrs. Evans Gordon, who claimed part of the property
supposed to belong to the insolvent, and also a sum of
mo►:ey.

•
Mr. COOKE (for the insolvent) asked Mr. Petersdorff
whether he meant to say that Mrs. Gordon was a
creditor ?

Mr. LEWIS, for several creditors, objected to Mr.
Petersdorff being heard at all till he proved that his
client possessed a locus slandi as a creditor.
Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD said he must hear part
of Mr. Petersdorff's statement before he could decide
whether he was in a right position or not.
Mr. PETERSDORFF then proceeded to state that
Mrs. Gordon did claim to be a creditor for a large
sum of money, as well as heiress to part of
the property supposed to belong to Mr. John
Spalding. The claim arose in this way:—As long
ago as the. year 1794 a Mr. Alexander Spalding, who
held large estates in Scotland, unfortunately met his
death in a duel. Dr. Spalding, a physician, who was at
the time in an extensive practice in London, being the
succeeding heir, did not choose to take possession, but
allowed a younger brother, Mr. Samuel Spalding, who
had returned from India with a large fortune, to do so
under certain arrangements. Now Mrs. Gordon claimed
as the heiress of Dr. Spalding, the rightful successor to
the property.
Mr. COOKE—That does not show you to be a creditor.
It may be a subject for a suit in Chancery.
Mr. LEWIS again objected to Mr. Pete,rea;:;-rff's pro-
ceedings. If he were suffered to Make these statements,
they would be perhaps prejudicial in their effect not only
to the insolvent, but also to the creditors. The body of
creditors having agreed to a certain arrangement, it was
possible that it might be interfered with on a future oc-
casion by some new creditor, who, if he imagined Mr.
Spalding's account of his property incorrect, would per-
haps start up in opposition.
Mr. Commissioner lloLnoirD again said he must hear
Mr. Petersdorff out.

Mr. PEZERSDORFF said he did not wish to prejudice the
insolvent either in the mind of the Court or of his cre-
ditors. Under the arrangements made between Dr.
Spalding and Mr. Samuel Spalding, Mrs. Gordon, ac-
cording to the Scottish law, was the heiress to the
property ; and, besides claiming. it, she also made a
demand for any moneys that might have been received
by Mr. Spalding during the time it had been under his
control. All, however, that Mrs. Gordon now asked,
without desiring in the least to interrupt the proceedings
of the Court, was that her claim to this property, and
the funds received, might be registered, to show that she
had taken the proper steps to make known her preten-
sions in her future proceedings in the Scottish courts,
without being an acquiescing party for or against the
terms of arrangement between Mr. Spalding and his
creditors.

Mr. COOKE—I have no remark to make, your Honour.
You'll see the case at once, I'm sure.
Mr. Commissioner HOLRO YD—I Bon% see that I can
grant the application. If you claim the estates, you
must proceed elsewhere.
No creditor opposing, a day was named for the final
order.
