BANKRUPTCY.7--(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice HOLROYD.)
IN RE MILNER.

In this case, in which the bankrupt passed his exami-
nation some time since, an application was made by his
solicitor for the costs of the fiat up to the choice of
assignees. The fiat had been sued out at the instance
of bankrupt, and the question of costs had been ad-
journed—the application was, that the solicitor's bill
should be paid before the official assignee, or the mes-
senger of the Court.

The SOLISITOR to the assignees objected to the bill,
on the ground that the bankrupt had put his creditors
to expense in endeavouring to effect a compromise, and
when they were willing to accede to his proposition he
came to this Court.

His HoNoun did not think there was any ground for
disallowing the costs, which would be paid in prefer-
ence, except the per centage, in collecting the debts and
the possession money.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
COLES V. BULLMAN.

This was an action to recover the sum of 201. for
goods sold and delivered under the following circum-
stances :—The plaintiff is a carrier, and the defendant is
a tea•dealer, at Islington, and on the sth of January
last, having several chests of tea to deliver from Messrs.
Young and Co., tea-dealers, to different persons, he left
with defendant three chests of a very superior quality
to that ordered by him, and plaintiff now sought to
recover the difference in value which he had been com-
pelled to pay to Messrs. Young and Co.
Mr. WILDE, for the plaintiff, contended that as the
chests were all marked, and defendant, as a tea-dealer,
knew they were not those ordered by him, an implied
contract had been raised, and that plaintiff was entitled
to a verdict.

For the defendant it was contended that the plaintiff
had no right of action, as the person to whom the goods
properly belonged might bring his action of trover.
Verdict for plaintiff.

ELECTION COMMITTEE.
(THIS DAY.)
BODMIN.

The Bodmin Election Committee re-assembled this
morning; Mr. Hamilton in the chair.
Evidence having been called,
Mr. MERRWETHER summed up, after which
Mr. WORDSWORTH rose to reply, but he was inter-
rupted by
The OHAIRMAN, who said the Committee would Rot
trouble the Learned Counsel to reply, as they were of
opinion that the petitions had failed to establish the al-
legation that Mr. Wyld did not possess the necessary
property qualification to entitle him to serve in the
present Parliament as a burgess for the borough of
Bodmiu.

The case of bribery and treating was then proceeded
with.

They both appeared in good health and spirits.

SALE OF THE PLATE OF THE DUKE OF BUCK-
INGHAM.—Yesterday the sale of the beautiful service of
plate of his Grace the Duke of Buckingham was pro-
ceeded with by Messrs. Christie and Manson, the auc.
tioneers, of King-street, St. James's, the rooms being
crowded by the nobility and gentry. The property was
divided into 163 lots, some of the pieces of plate being
of the most magnificent description. A candelabrum,
with arms, standards, and heraldic supporters upon a
plinth, surmounted by a palm tree, from which spring
branches for six lights, presented to the Duke by the
officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the
Bucks Yeomanry Cavalry, weighing 340 ounces, sold for
10g. per ounce. A magnificent sideboard dish with me-
dallions, and of the coronation of George 11., and the
other a crest surrounded by wreaths and suspended by
ribbons, the border richly chased, sold for Bs. ld. per

fetched 9s. 6d. per ounce. A candelabrum, with branches
for four lights, richly chased with scrolls and flowers in
relief; sold for 10s. 9d. per ounce. The other articles,
consisting of vases, goblets, ewers, waiters, dishes, &c.,
fetched sums averaging fromr,ss. to 10s. per ounce. The
wines sold on Tuesday and Wednesday fetched extra-
ordinarily high prices.
COAL-PIT ACCIDENT.—EIGHT LIVES LOST.—
DAWLEY, SALOP, MARCH 28.—A coalpit accident,
which has resulted in the loss of eight lives, has given
rise to a most painful amount of sensation in this
neighbourhood. Coroners' inquiries on the bodies of
the unfortunate sufferers have just concluded, from 'which
wo gather the subjoined facts relative to the deplorable
catastrophe. The pit is situate within the district
known as Malinshee, near this place. It is called the
" Lodge," and is the property of Mr. Botfield. On
Wednesday morning, between four and five o'clock, the
eight poor fellows who lost their lives went to the mouth
of the pit for the purpose of descending and proceeding
to work. Scarcely had they got more than fifty yards
down the pit, when the main shaft broke, and all were
hurled to the bottom. The chain rope at the same mo-
ment got off the barrel, and the entire mass, weighing
upwards of two tons, fell on them, and shockingly muti-
lated them. Their instantaneous death was immediately
concluded. The jury found " That the deceased came
by their death in consequence of the )breaking of iron
pins holding down the main shaft, by which the baud
fell to the bottom, and the rope chain falling on the
deceased, inflicted mortal injuries of which they died.
The jury also came to the opinion that the said iron
pies, the breakage of which was the cause of the acci-
dent, were composed of defective iron."
FOREIGN CATTLE.—The steam-ship Free Trade,
which has made two or three trips from Oporto to the
metropolis with cargoes of live cattle and provisions, has
now arrived from Viana, having on board, in addition to
a general cargo of oranges, eggs, and wine, 61 oxen and
cows, consigned to order. The steam-ship Lion, from
Harlingen, has brought as a portion of her cargo 225
oxen and cows, which, we think, is the largest quantity
of horned cattle brought from the continent on any
single occasion.

AMERICAN NEWS.
RATIFICATION a, THE MEXICAN

TREA(I Y.
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.

We have received New York papers to the 11th
instant, which were landed at Cork from the packet-
ship New World, Captain Knight.
A communication by telegraph, from Washington,
announces the fact of the Mexican treaty having been
accepted, subject to some few minor modifications, by
a majority in the Senate of 58 to 15.
What these modifications consist of can only at
present be gleaned from the correspondence of parties
at Washington, supposed to have good means of ac-
quiring information, as the injunction of secrecy under
which the proceedings have been carried on has not
been removed. The boundary of the 32d parallel, it
is said, stands as proposed. An attempt to fix the
Wilmot proviso, prohibiting slavery in the acquired
territory, has failed. Then comes the main point of
difference, the question of religion, on which both
contracting parties have appeared to be so decidedly
positive. The whole ninth article, guaranteeing the
supremacy of the Romish Church in California, and
the religious grants and rights, has been rejected, and
upon this question some difficulty is anticipated from
the known determined opinions of the Mexicans on
the matter. A substitute has been adopted, affording
unrestrained religious toleration, which is as far as
the United States constitution is capable of going.
A clause in the treaty provides that this territory
should be incorporated into the union as soon as pos-
sible. This has been amended by substituting "as
soon as proper and suitable," leaving the discretion
absolutely in Congress, and imposing no obligation of
immediate admission in territorial capacity.
It is the opinion of Mr. Calhoun, and other distin-
guished men, that California and New Mexico cannot
fit themselves for admission as states under twenty
years ; while there are others of equally eminent posi-
tion, who extend the time to thirty years.
The article providing for the payment of the
15,000,000 dollars to Mexico, has been so amended
as to make the annual instalments payable in coin in
Mexico, rejecting the alternative of transferable stock
as agreed by the treaty.
An attempt was made to strike out the 3,250,000
dollars provided as the maximum for the claims of
American citizens against Mexico, but failed by a
vote nearly unanimous. The object was to afford the
claimants larger latitude.

MONEY MARIET.—the bill market for the steamer
closed heavily ; a large amount being left over. The
best bills were sold at 1091.

BRAZIL.

The Liverpool Times publishes the following ex-
tract from a Rio Janeiro letter of the 9th February :
" Rio, FEL 9.
" We have just learnt from a private source, worthy
of the most implicit confidence, that the decree of the
Ist October last, imposing extra dues and duties on
British vessels and goods on and after the Ist July,
1848, will not be attempted to be put in force before the
Ist January, 1849, during which interval it is to be
hopod some more amicable arrangement will be entered
into than at present exists. The slight demand for
goods that existed for a week has completely died away,
and business is quite as dull as it was in December. The
stocks of woollens are very heavy, equal to about three
years' supply."

old race in particular was one of the most exciting ever
seen, and in closeness it was almost equalled by the
handicap. On the whole the meeting, thanks to good
and liberal management, was eminently successful. The
prospect for next year is highly encouraging.

NEW GOVERNMENT STEAMERS.—Two of the new
steamers, intended to carry the mail between Dublin
and Holyhead, arrived in Kingstown harbour yesterday
evening. They both started from opposite Birkenhead
at nine o'clock yesterday morning, and one, the Ban-
shee, made the Kingstown harbour at thirty-one minutes
past four, Liverpool time. The other, the St. Columb,
arrived at thirty minutes past five, having been beaten
an hour by the Banshee. The mail-boat Urgent, which
left Liverpool at four o'clock, A.m., did not arrive till
after the Banshee. The new steamers are long, nar-
row, and evidently built with a view to the attainment of
the greatest speed. They have each two funnels, and
one of the most remarkable external appearances they
present, is the enormous size of their paddle. boxes. We
have heard it stated that the Banshee, instead of lifting
to a sea, goes right through it. This may be all very
well as far as the conveyance of the mail goes, but will
not be particularly attractive to passengers. The Ban-
shee and the St. Columb started together this morning
from Kingstown harbour on another trial trip.—Dublin
Packet.

GERMAN FREEDOM.—A public meeting of the
Germans resident in the metropolis was held last night,
at the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-street, " for the
purpose (of voting an address of sympathy, congratu-
lation, and gratitude to the German people, for their
heroic conduct in the recent struggles for reform and
liberty." The chair was taken by Dr. Taube, who, after
some observations, called for a cheer for "Fatherland."
The whole company rose simultaneously, and, amid
deafening cheers and waving of colours and handker-
chiefs, mo st enthusiastically responded to the call.
Bo'ner's rational melody Du Schivertun meiner Linthen
—" The si vord is at my left side"—was then beautifully
given by a party of vocalists on the platform. Herr
l3aucr then moved an address in German, which was
unanimoiasfy adopted. The meeting was addressed by
several g entlemen, among whom the principal speaker
appeared to be M. Levin, of Konigsberg. The proceed-
ings, whi, ..~h were of a very animated character, did not
co:iclude until after tea o'clock.

ADDRI ISS TO BEE. MAJESTY AND PRINCE ALBERT.
