The property consisted of stock of " journals " on
the premises, 3,200 sets in 3 vols. each, and about
135,000 numbers, estimated at 900 L; stereotype plates
for 35 numbers and 80 wooden blocks for engravings,
estimated at 2301. This property, however, valued at
1,130/., only realized 5254 The copyright of Howites
Journal realized 601. An enormous loss occurred in the
printing press, fixtures. &c., which cost 2,0291, and
realized only ;80/. Under the head of losses is, by
Howites Journal., 382/.; bad debts, 124/.; on realization
of stock of journals, 605/.; loss in connexion with the
People's Journal, 400/.
Mr. LAWRANCE, on behalf of the assignees, called the
attention of the Court to the fact that the bankrupt had
executed an assignment to his mother-in-law in October,
1547, in order to secure to her the amount of a loan
which she had advanced to him in July, 1846. There
was no entry of this transaction in the books of the
bankrupt, but there was other evidence to establish the
fact of the loan, which he did not dispute.
It was urged against_ the bankrupt that he had gone
on trading after he was insolvent. _

The COMMISSIONER said he had never laid down tho
principle that the moment a trader was in difficulties ho
ought to stop, but there was one period to which he (the
Commissioner) always looked, namely,:that at which the
trader was first sued by a creditor.
Mr. LAWRANCE said it could not be denied that in
this case there was a lamentable discrepancy between
the debts and the assets.

The COMMISSIONER said that ho must take into ac-
count the fact that great depreciation of the stock had
taken place in consequence of the forced sale. But the
question really before him now was, nut the conduct of
Mr. Hewitt, but whether the accounts were correct. He
thought they were so, and would express no
opinion
whatever upon the bankrupt's conduct as a trader. He
must say, however, that he did not think the bankrupt
was to blame in forming the estimates of his property
which he had done, for although great loss occurred
from the realization, that was owing to the peculiar
circumstances under which the realization took place ;
neither did he see any reason why Mr. Howitt should
not have continued to struggle, with the hope that be
would ultimately get over his embarrassments.
The official assignee was of opinion that the balance-
sheet was a correct one.

The bankrupt passed.
Mr. CHILDE applied for an allowance to the
bankrupt.
Mr. LAWRANCE offered no
Opposition, and a sum of
31. a week was granted.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
MI D LAIV D CIRCUIT, Northampton, July 24.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord Chief Justice
DENALtw.)
Jo/at Unwin, labourer, aged 23 was indicted for felo-
niously and violently assaulting Ann Williams, on the
Ist of July instant, at Worksop, and committing a rape
upon her person.
Mr. Mellor conducted the prosecution;
Mr. Millar
appeared as counsel for the prisoner.
The prosecutrix, who seemed to have been tramping
about the country, was thirteen years old.
The circumstances are unfit for publication.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty of a common
assault, and Unwin was sentenced to be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for the space of two years.
James Slater, a person of good education, aged 36, was
indicted for a like offence at Lenton, on the 17th of Fe-
bruary last, upon the person of Mary Ann Inger.
Mr. Denison conducted the prosecution; and Mr.
Miller the defence.

The prisoner was a person in a respectable situation
of life, being a lace manufacturer at Lenton, just out of
this town. He was a married man with a family of chil-
dren, who, with his wife, lived with him. The girl, who
was 15 years old, lived with her uncle two or three
doors from the prisoner, and occasionally came to his
house to work for him, principally at threading bobbins
for the lace. _

The case occupied the court a considerable time. The
verdict was one of Acquittal.

In the Crown Court to-day seven prisoners were tried' •

In the Nisi Prius Court the number of causes'disposed

virtually undefended, and the third had reference to a

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WESTMINSTER.
John Hawkins, Thomas Hugginson, and Dennis Wilson,
three young men, were placed at the bar, charged with
harglariOusly breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr.
W. Woilor, 23, Butland-gate, Knightsbridge, and steal-
ing therefrom a quantity of jewellery.
The circumstances of the case are briefly these:—At
11 o'clock on Monday night, Miss Sarah Croxford, who
had been left in charge:of Mr. Wollop's house during the
absence of that gentleman and his family from town, re-
tired to rest, having previously with the female servants
examined all the fastenings of the house, and seen that
they were secure. At about one o'clock in the morning
she was awoke by a noise like the rattling of a wire
guard over a window near the back door, and heard a.
noise which induced her to think that the alarum bel',
which is over that door, had been mufficA. Immediately
afterwards she heard persons coming up stairs, her room
door was opened, and a man who from his general ap-
pearance she believed to be the prisoner Hawkins, en-
tered the room and came to her bedside. She was much
alarmed and pretended to be asleep. Two other men
then came in but she could not recognise them; one held
a light, and the others having looked round the room
carefully, one of the fellows said, " It's all right," and
they then left the room, locking Miss Croxford in. She
then heard one person go up stairs and another down,
and the third, as she supposed, into an adjoining room;
but from the noise she heard almost imme-
diately afterwards overhead she felt convinced that
there must be more than one person there. She got
out of bed, and having placed a table and some
other furniture against her bedroom door, quietly opened
the window and called " Police." She had done so for
two or three minutes before the thieves heard that an
alarm was being given, and they then rushed down
stairs, out at the back door, over the garden-wail, into a
field, and escaped. One of them, believed by Miss Crox-
ford to be Hugginson, had some difficulty in scaling the
wall. Her cries at length brought a soldier to the spot,
who having fetched the police they entered by the rear
of the house and released her from her room. Oa exa-
mination of the premises the first thing that presented
itself on the stairs was Mr. Wollop's cashbox unopened,
and on proceeding to Miss Wollop's bedroom her jewel
I cases were found on the floor and the jewellery strewn
about in all directions. The snaps of various neck-
laces and other articles of gold had been forced off
several ornaments, and were placed altogether
ready to be carried off. The plate cupboard,
desks, workboxes, & c., in the house had been
broken open, and their contents scattered about,
and four gold bracelets, a heart and cross, and other
jewellery, together with 61. 10s. from Miss Croxford's
workbox, were missed; but the extent of the robbery it
is not possible at present to state from the circumstance
of the family being at the Isle of Wight. The burglars
had removed the covering from the cage of a canary in
the lower part of the house, and smoked tobacco under
the bird, in order, as it is supposed, to prevent its
singing and arousing the inmates. An entrance to the
house had evidently been effected by some slim person

stances that transpired, were directed in that quar-
ter, and from information received in the course
of very active and diligent exertions the three pri-
soners were taken into custody. The inspector
observed Hawkins leave the Hampstead-road on
Monday afternoon and go towards some fields, where
he lost sight of him behind some buildings for two or
three minutes, and having waited till he again made his
appearance he took him into custody; and on a special
constable named Price, who had accompanied the in-
spector, examining the spot where the prisoner had
been, he found four gold bracelets and a gold cross and
heart (part of the property stolen) concealed under some
dirt. Hawkins had on at the time of his apprehension a
pair of shoes precisely corresponding with those found
in Mr. Wollop's house, the latter of which fitted him.
Wilson was apprehended at his residence, and in a tea-
caddy in his room a gold locket and heart and cross
were found concealed amongst some hemp-seed. A
knife with its blades so formed as to be perfect screw-
drivers was also found in his possession. Further evi-
dence was also given to prove that this had been a well-
planned burglary, and that in order to ascertain the best
time of carrying it into effect, Hawkins had called at the
house a few days ago, and having inquired for the page
boy, who was out at the time, elicited from the servant
the time at which the family would leave town. It was
further proved, that the prisoners had all three been seen
in company a few days ago, and that on the same day
(Thursday last) Wilson made some inquiries as to when
the family would leave town.
The prisoners all denied the charge.
Mr. BRODERIP said, he should remand them upon this
very serious charge for a week.
THAMES.

Conistrri.Ar. FOR Wur urL MURDER.—Gcorye Green, a
labourer, residing at Blackwell harbour, was charged
kith the wilful murder of John Doherty, a lad about
nineteen years of age, and in the employment of the
Trinity Corporation us a ballast-man.
It appeared that on Monday, the 17th instant, the de-
ceased, with his father, mother, and other members of
his family, went to see a boat-race at Blackwall. Whilst
on board the Trinity barge No. 18, the deceased remon-
strated with the prisoner, saying ho should not make
seats of the waste boards belonging to the Trinity
Company's barges, and endeavoured to prevent him.
An altercation ensued, when, according to the testi-
mony of two witnesses, one of whom was sister to the
deceased, the prisoner struck Doherty a blow on the
head, which caused him to fall into the Thames, where he
floated for a few minutes and then disappeared, though
every effort was made to save him, and his father had
actually a hold of his hair, which, however, was too
short to afford a sufficient grasp. When the prisoner
was taken to the station-house his brother William pre-
sented himself at the same time, saying that he, and not
the prisoner, was the person who caused the deceased to
fall into the water, but as Doherty's sister and a witness
named Scully persisted in asserting that the prisoner
was the man, the charge was taken against him.
Yesterday, before the completion of the depositions,
Mr. Pelham, who appeared for the defence, said he was
prepared with a host of respectable witnesses, who could
prove that the prisoner's brother, William, was the person
Who should be amenable for the act, and that his attend-
ance at the Court would be secured in a very short time.
Mr. BILLANTINE, however, declined to hear the
evidence alluded to by Mr. Pelham, observing that the
distinct testimony then before the Court rendered it
imperative on him to commit the prisoner to take his
trial for wilful murder.
The prisoner was accordingly' committed, and the par-
ties bound over to prosecute,

MEETING OF IRISH REPEALERS

IN LONDON.
Last night a public meetieg of the Irish Repealers re-
sident in London, took place at the Theatre, in Milton-
street, Cripplegate, for the purpose of organising repeal
clubs throughout the metropolis, similar to those estab-
lished in Ireland. Several hundred persons who were
unable to gain admission continued to congregate in
front of the theatre. This gave some alarm to the
neighbours, and for fear any attempt to disturb the
public peace should be made, the whole of the day and
reserve police belonging to the City force wore ordered
to muster at the contiguous station in Moore-lane. The
division were also ordered in reserve, and Mr. Super-
intendent Jervis was in constant communication with
Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, the City Commissioner, in
case the services of his men should be required. The M
division were also in reserve, and so was the L division,
the men being armed with cutlasses, and were under the
command of Superintendents Evans and Rutt. Several
officers of the F division in plain clothes were also
stationed in various parts of the theatre, with instruc-
tions that in the event of anything in the shape of an
outbreak being recommended, instant communication
was to be conveyed to Mr. Superintendent Pearce.
The chair was taken by Mr. Kenoaley, the barrister
who defended the Chartist Looney at the late Old Bailey
sessions.

A Mr. h.ENNEY, in a short speech, moved the first re-
solution, which was to the following effect:—" That we
view with unfeigned pleasure and satisfaction the amal-
gamation of all repsalers in the Irish league, and we
earnestly entreat our countrymen of every denomination
and creed, who have the smallest spark of patriotism
glowing in their bosoms, to co-operate with that body in
their struggle for the national rights and liberties of
Ireland." The resolution was adopted.
Mr. BARRY proposed the second resolution, viz.:—
" That we regard the club system as the very best for
effecting an union and perfecting an organization among
the working classes, and we pledge ourselves to use our
best exertions to establish them in every locality."
Mr. MARK, in seconding the resolution, said that,
during the last few days he had been engaged with
thoughts of a more grave character than the subject of
that resolution could present. He had been " setting his
house in order."—(Cheers.) Having indulged in some
violent language,
The CHAIRMAN interposed, and requested him to re-
tract the words which he had used of a seditious ten-
dency. Some confusio❑ hero took place, and order
having at length been partially restored, the speaker, in
obedience to the request of the Chairman, consented to
withdraw what the Chairman considered to be seditious.

The resolution was then put to the vote and carried.
Mr. 0. KAVANAGH said he thought the period had
arrived when all Irishmen should forget their previous
differences.—(Hear, hear.) Conviction had long since
flashed across his mind that moral means were the best
to advance the interests of the people—(llear, hear)—
but when the Government deprived them of every con-
stitutional refuge—when the Government tells them that
it will suspend their liberties and privileges—(Loud
cheers)—his conviction was strongly rooted that the
period had arrived when the people should protect them-
selves.—(The remainder of the sentence Was lost owing
to the general cheering which took place.)

" MILITARY PREPARATIONS.--We learn, upon au-
thority, that a flying camp, consisting of infantry and
cavalry, is about to be formed immediately between Kil-
kenny and Clonmel. Four hundred of the 3d Buffs
were expected to arrive yesterday at Waterford, on
board the Rhadamanthus steam-frigate, as a component
part of the force to be there encamped, ready for any
emergency that may arise in the districts of Waterford,
Carrick-on-Suir, or Kilkenny. The Commissary-Ge-
neral passed through this town on Thursday night for
the purpose of making the necessary arrangements. This
is a proof that the Government are fully aware of the
proceedings of the revolutionary armament in progress
in that quarter. The Rhadamanthus is to remain in the
river Suir to aid in the suppression of any entente that
may take place in Waterford, while the squadron under
the command of Sir Charles Napicr is to oroiso off tho
southern coast. The Government, we also learn, is fully
determined to put down the clubs.' "
MOVEMENT op TROOPS.—A reinforcement of half a
troop of the 4th Light Dragoons was ordered to proceed
from Carlow to Kilkenny, on the 20th inst, to replace
a detachment ordered to Waterford, by a forced march.
This half troop from Carlow was replaced by half a
troop, and an additional force of the same regiment, from
New bridge, on the same evening.
SALE Or PIE,ES.—The sale of pikes, guns, blunder-
busses, and pistols, was opened this day at Carlow, by a
Dublin speculator, probably in partnership with Hyland,
but with what success in this hitherto peaceable county
remains to be seen, as the mart was not opened when
going to press this morning. The pikes, we learn, are
on the most approved principle, with handles ready for
immediate use. We have only one suggestion to offer,
and it is this—is the High Sheriff of the county respon-
sible for the peace of the bailiwick during a period when
the public safety is threatened? If ho is responsible,
why does not the Government call on him and the con-
stituted authorities of the county to suppress this move-
ment? If he is not responsible, wilt the Government
act with promptitude in preventing the general arma-
ment now in progress by an order of Council, or by
such other powers as the late Act invests them with?
PROTESTANT REPEALERS.
A provincial correspondent informs us that on the
night of Saturday, the town of Cavan was placarded with
a notice of which the following is a copy :
"Duiturt PROTESTANT REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—A
meeting of Protestants favourable to a consideration of
the question of repeal, in the present alarming and
threatening state of this country, will be held in Cavan,
early on the evening of the 25th instant, when a deputa-
tion from the above association will attend.
"July 21, 1848."
Owing to the rumours and to the open threats of in-
surrection in various quarters, very considerable alarm
prevails in the metropolis, and very timid people are
panic-stricken. On Saturday and this day large quanti-
ties of plate have been deposited, for safe keeping, in the
Bank of Ireland, and many country gentlemen have
deemed it prudent to send up their plate chests and
other valuables.
There has been, during this day, an unusual demand
for gold at the Bank of Ireland, chicly by farmers and
other persons from the country, who, yielding to the
panic, are converting their money into sovereigns. The
great power with which the Government are now armed,
enabling them to arrest the leaders of the treasonable
confederacy, has forced matters to a crisis; but if those
arrests should be effected without a struggle, which we
earnestly hope will be the case, there would be little
danger of any attempt at insurrection in any part of the
country. The great probability is that, in any event,
nothing in the shape of organised insurrection can
occur—nothing, certainly, that the Government will
not be able to suppress with promptitude. There may
be isolated attempts at outbreak, but only partial, and
such as the Executive could easily crush, although,
perhaps, with calamitous consequences in the loss of
human life.

On Thursday last a large parcel was delivered at a
mercantile establishment in this city, directed to a clerk
in the house, who is connected with the clubs. It was
marked " with care" on the outside. On account of
suspicious appearances the proprietor opened the parcel,
and found that it contained several pounds of gunpowder,
which he at once delivered to the authorities.
This day, at the head police-office, two persons were
summarily convicted of aggravated and unprovoked as-
saults on two soldiers, one a sergeant of the Enniskillen
Dragoons, the other a private in the 35th Regiment.
One of the prisoners was fined 61. and the other 31., or
two months' imprisonment. The fines were paid. These
cases exhibit the growing feeling of hostility against
tke soldiers amongst those classes infected by the revo-
lutionary mania.
There are rumours that the trials under the Treason
Felony Act will bo postponed, owing to the susponsion
of the Habeas Corpus, but there appears to be no ground
whatever for such reports.

newspapers, were held to bail at College-street Police-

REPEAL SYMPATHY LN BIRMINGHAM.
BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY.—Last night the inhabitants
of the Bull Ring were much surprised by the sudden and
unexpected appearance of a number of Chartists and
Repealers, who had marched in procession from a meet-
ing in the People's Hall, Loveday-street. The meeting
was not called by any public announcement or demon-
stration, and would seem to have been the result of some
secret organization. The numbers have been estimated
by some at 2,000 ; others say leis ; but, from all we can
learn, there were at least Rrio
at the Bull Ring, they commenced groaning and cheer-
ing; and before leaving, an announcement was made of
another meeting.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Monday, the 24th, the House was occupied
with a somewhat novel discusion on the subject of mili-
tary dress. This has been supposed to be the province
of kings and tailors, and has not ordinarily been brought
before the popular branch of the Government. lam not
sure whether the result now was to effect any great ap-
proach towards sound principles. If a uniform is useful
for an army, officers ought to wear it as well as soldiers,
though it may be of finer materials, and bear the marks
of their rank. If soldiers are to wear red, officers ought
not to wear blue. H officers ought to wear blue, soldiers
should wear it also. The great mistake is in believing
that officers are not made for service in the field, but to
fill up ball rooms. This, and a desire to put money into
the pockets of lace-makers and army tailors, make the
source of any difficulty that exists.
On Tuesday the House met at twelve, and among
other things the Poor-law Union Charges Bill (No. 2)
was read a second time. lam informed your clause on
providing for the emigration of irremoveable paupers is
to be treated in Committee.
On the same evening came on the motion of the
Member for Southwark (Sir W. Molesworth) on the
Colonial Expenditure. There can be no doubt of its
being very salutary to a Government to be met occa-
sionally by a motion of this kind. It cannot fail to
convinse them of some points *a which it is ex-
nedient to increase zeal, and some where it is
ecessary to abandon cherished errors. But
viewing the whole iu the light of an attack,
the Government maintained the best position of the tw6.
Among other things the assault was let down, by a per-
petual appeal to the hateful claim of " the Anglo-Saxon."
When the Irish leader, under circumstances of irritation,
threw about him the "Saxon" as a term of reproach, he
was excused on the ground of temptation. But there is
no excuse for in cool blood and without temptation,
throwing about a phrase which is a declaration of war
tigainst the Scotch, the Irish, the Welsh, the Canadian,
and every man who does not happen to be of the bloodi
and family of the speaker. In common life a man will

stated in several Parisian journals that the Prince do
Joinville is suffering from bad health, we beg to contra-

subject is felt by his family, as the public were given to
understand through the medium of the French papers.
